Chapter 141: At Eighty, I’d Still Slap Myself for This
Leon watched as Lewis held a calendar in one hand and a pen in the other, circling dates and jotting things down. Curious, he leaned over for a closer look.
To his surprise, Lewis first marked all the traditional festivals in Stardew Valley. Only after that did he begin noting down the birthdays of Pelican Town residents, writing the names of the birthday celebrants. But even though Stardew Valley had plenty of residents, Lewis only wrote six names.
“All right, here you go.” Lewis capped the pen and handed the calendar to Leon with a reminder.
“Why only six? And why are they all girls about my age?” Leon asked, exasperated.
“Because my pen ran out of ink,” Lewis replied matter-of-factly. “I’ll add the rest next time.”
“When’s next time?” Leon pressed.
“Next time is next time. Anyway, I’m heading over to Marnie’s. If it rains later, the road through the Coal Forest will be a mess.” With that, Lewis swaggered off, leaving Leon standing there with the calendar.
Leon sighed.
Grumbling aside, he understood what Lewis meant. Some things just couldn’t be forced.
