Chapter 6 (continued). “Jeez! Look at that guy. Can you believe him? He looks like a dog I used to own. Get a load of that hair. What a fleabag!” He gave me a conspiratorial nudge on the arm. “What sewer did he sleep in last night?”. The current object of Cam’s attention was, indeed, a little scruffy looking, I suppose.
