"Oh, is he?" I asked with obvious interest and amusement. "I never would have guessed." Steve seemed to me that kind of guy who was on the edge of being a bad guy. He didn't have the heart -- or lack of heart -- to be truly mean, but he liked to play around with breaking some rules. That didn't mesh with being a good caregiver. But apparently I was wrong on that.

"How long have you been here, Mr. Hopper?" Steve hadn't mentioned him, but it wasn't like we talked every day or anything.
