imagining that secondo, on his short walk from the front door to the car every morning, gets a little red nose and flushed cheeks from the cold. he gets in and thinks “god, i must get a remote starter” like he does every morning. he rubs his hands together and breathes hot onto his fingers while the icy car warms up. only then does he even consider getting out and scraping the ice off the glass. and lo, he left it inside! now he makes himself late looking all throughout the house for the new scraper he bought. he won’t use his credit card like last time. windshield clear and seat adequately warmer, he can finally begin his day. all just to go and get coffee from his favorite place across town and go right back home.
