Gordon looked thinner, a little weary. “I’m glad things have worked out for you,” Gordon said. “I think New York was just what I needed,” Kristen said. “So many people. I never feel alone.” Gordon smiled. “So what will you do now?” “I don’t know. I’m busy with school. New friends. But I’ll never forget the old ones.” Gordon escorted Kristen to the door. “It was great seeing you again,” he said. “I’m glad you dropped by.”

I guess that’s why I’m so anxious to get to sleep.” Kristen smiled and nodded. “Will you say hi?” Gordon grinned. “Good night, Kristen.” Gordon closed the door and turned out the light. Then he trudged slowly upstairs and got ready for bed. It did not take him long to drift into a peaceful sleep. The paper mache model of the Elm Street House sat on his bureau.
