The pool looked manicured again. He took another sip of coffee, watching the water ripple. He frowned.
“Could we put some big rocks in it?” Charlie asked, tilting his head to the side. “Right in the middle of the water, I mean. At random.”
Ted tilted his head right along with Charlie, squinting at the pool. “Sure we could, but if you’re swimming laps you’d end up with a concussion.”
He turned around to look at Ted, smiling. “Had plenty of those before.” Coffee finished, he walked back into the house. Not his house, of course. Just the house he paid for and existed in from moment to moment. “Think you could get some boulders rolled into there any time soon?”
Ted gave him a very bland look. “It’d be a lot of construction, Charlie. Lots of noise.”
“’The quieter you become, the more you can hear’.” Charlie grinned at Ted.
“So you’re going to go around banging pans and screaming like a madman to drown them out,” Ted extrapolated.
Charlie smiled, putting the mug in the sink. “Or buy a really, really big stereo.”
