Our walk home took longer than we had estimated. Usually, we use the shortcut In the trees behind the house, since we didn't carry with us a lot of items, which allowed us to maneuver through the narrow spaces in between trees and shrubs. Thinking back to when we were parting ways, am glad Yan talked me into leaving the trash can with him or it would have acted as extra weight, even though it was empty with time my arms would have become numb from dragging it for too long.
