“Come in,” said Eric. He took his neighbor’s coat and hat.

“Thank you,” Mr. Tressler said.

Eric led him to the living room. “Have a seat.”

Mr. Tressler chose Grandpa’s chair. “I’ve been thinking,” he said.

“Yes?”

“Am I the only coward in the cul-de-sac?” asked Mr. T.

“Coward?” said Eric. “What do you mean?”

The old man stared at his cane. “What I mean is, I want to sign on the dotted line.”

“You do?” Eric nearly shouted.

“Where’s that promise sheet or whatever?” Mr. Tressler said.

Eric stood up. He glanced out the window. “Don’t go away. I’ll be right back!”

He dashed out the front door. Even forgot to put on his coat. He headed across the street to Abby’s.

Soon, he was back. “Here’s the sign-up sheet. Read it carefully,” Eric warned.

Mr. Tressler frowned. “Why’s that?”

“Abby’s pretty smart. She wrote all this stuff.” He pointed out the part about boxing up the TV. “But you shouldn’t worry. That won’t happen to you.”

“Never fear. I’ll suffer through,” said Mr. T.

Eric grinned. “I’m glad you came over. And don’t forget, you can have supper with us.”

“Better talk to your mother,” Mr. T said.

“She’ll call you, OK?”

“Wonderful.” The old man seemed mighty thrilled.

“Table talk at our house is better than the news anytime.” Eric got Mr. Tressler’s coat and hat.

“Tell your grandad hello for me,” said Mr. T.

“Sure will,” said Eric. “He’s probably upstairs watching TV. Getting his last fix, you know?”

Mr. T waved his cane and gave a wink.

Eric watched the old man walk down the sidewalk.

Ya-hoo!

One hundred percent for Blossom Hill Lane!

He ran upstairs and watched TV with Grandpa. Last chance.
