He opened the door for Isaac, and I watched through the mirror as Gus helped Isaac out of the car,
the two of them leaning on each other at the shoulder then tapering away, like praying hands that don’t quite meet at the palms.
I rolled down the windows and watched from the car, because vandalism made me nervous.
They took a few steps toward the car, then Gus flipped open the egg carton and handed Isaac an egg.
Isaac tossed it, missing the car by a solid forty feet. “A little to the left,” Gus said.

Isaac swiveled his shoulders. “Lefter,” Gus said. Isaac swiveled again.
“Yes. Excellent. And throw hard.” Gus handed him another egg, and Isaac hurled it,
the egg arcing over the car and smashing against the slow-sloping roof of the house.
“Bull’s-eye!” Gus said. “Really?” Isaac asked excitedly. “No, you threw it like twenty feet over the car.
Just, throw hard, but keep it low. And a little right of where you were last time.”
