Wearing the overcoat of the old man next door, his nurse had me wait on the steps… Maybe it was because I was running around the neighborhood (the shame! haha), in my socks, trying to borrow someone’s phone. Which leads to the size and a half too small shoes on my feet from the neighbors across the street. He politely explained to me that they were Gucci, so please don’t forget to bring them back.
