Almost as soon as he settled in to watch TV, though, there was a knock on the front door. Isaac decided to answer it.

Teddy was standing there, the fennec’s eyes wide. “Isaac! Where’ve you been?” he asked.

“Oh, uh…” Isaac had to tell him the truth now. “My family… went out to Massachusetts last week.”

“Oh. Why didn’t you tell me?” Teddy asked. “I was worried about you.”

Isaac bit his lip. “It’s because… we’re moving.”

The fennec blinked. “Moving?”

“Isaac… I…” Teddy said. He seemed to be struggling with words. “I love you,” Teddy said.
