Gilbert nearly jumped for joy. "Yay! C'mon, I wanna show you my room." He grabbed Nick's hand and led him through the hall. They stopped at a wooden door and Gilbert turned to Nick. "Sorry 'bout the mess. I was in a bit of a rush when I left, so stuff from my closet is everywhere."
He opened the door and stepped over some junk on the floor. Hats, hangers, a baseball bat. Things were strewn across the room.
Gilbert opened the top drawer on his dresser and pulled out two pairs of pajamas.
He handed a pair to Nick. "Here. They may be a little small for you. The bathroom is right across the hall so you can get cleaned up and changed in there. We'll give our clothes to my mom so she can wash them before you leave tomorrow."
He grabbed a book from the night stand next to his bed. "This is my favorite book. When you get back I'll read it to you to help you fall asleep."
The book had a picture of two bunnies on the front and said 'GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU' in large letters.
"Here's a towel that you can use to wash your face, too."
