Day 8: Card: The Lovers

~~~

He returns to Crickhollow in October. The door's fixed, Fatty tells himself, and there's Frodo's left-behinds...

"In Scary," neighbors advise, "there's folk like you."

There's Smith Wickle, at least, to welcome him.

"I don't want this," Fatty warns.

Wickle laughs. "Nobody does!"
