By the end of the week he had lost three inches of height while his lower spine had started to curve forward like a toddler’s. His brown hair had become a sandy blonde, making his eyebrows vanish into the background of his unweathered, fair skin.

It was becoming difficult for Anita to think of Howard as anything but a little boy. His appearance, mannerisms, gait, even the timber of his voice did nothing to destroy the illusion that he was really a four-year-old who had somehow acquired a precocious command of adult language.
