Raoul

Last night, as I put the Yaris in park and removed the key from the ignition, the interior lights came on automatically, as usual.

“Thank you, Raoul,” I said thoughtlessly.

Raoul has been a standard butler name of mine for some time now. It’s the name I gave my IV pole back in the hospital.

For a moment I pondered naming my Yaris Raoul, but…nah.
