Bud is relieved. It is an incredible meal and Bud cannot help but look around him in delight. Miss Thomas is beautiful and is always humming a deep, vibrating tune. Mr. Jimmy is extremely funny and Steady Eddie is very kind and congenial. He is thinking all of these things, and suddenly he realizes that this is best place he’s ever been, and these are the best people, and this is where he is supposed to be. All of a sudden, tears start leaking from his eyes and he fears he is making a bad impression. Miss Thomas begins to rub his head and starts telling him softly it is okay. She keeps up her humming and Bud hears a voice in his head telling him it is okay to cry because he is home.
