That could have gone badly (Leo was half braced for crying), but Donnie accepts his explanation pretty easily in the end. Which is good, because he would have no idea how to explain this to him otherwise.
He makes sure he didn’t lose his new book in all the ruckus, tucking it into his hoodie pocket before heading toward the street. He has to think of something that will be entertaining for little Donnie without overwhelming him, which means his normal haunts like the arcade are out. The comic shop would be much calmer but the lack of Jupiter Jim and their other familiar series might cause questions.
Man, what did Donnie like to do at this age? Leo barely remembers being this tiny. But then, this is Donnie, so there’s one thing he knows will probably always work…
“How abooouuut… we get some ice cream, and then I show you the big library?”
