"Is this because I'm pushing 40? Is this what people do then? Expand their living spaces? Is this, like, nesting and pre-midlife crisis? Because I was never a house kind of guy. Never." He huffed and threw himself down on the sofa. "We should get another cat. And a big back yard. I want a yard--I don't know what I'd do with it, but I want it. ...that's weird, right?"
