Patrick walked into the shop thrilled to have a second away from school but more than that he was thrilled to have a second to enjoy some apple pie. It seemed these days he was so tired and run down he never got a chance to get anything sweet and he felt terrible askin for pie in the kitchen before curfew. Sitting down at a table near the window he watched his fellow students milling about and tried to decide what he wanted today... although he rarely got something different than apple pie.
