Chapter 22

Bonnie

“This time, we’re going to go underwater,” Bonnie told Tyson. “You can totally do this.”

Tyson looked unconvinced. “Can we wait for Dylan?”

“Sure,” she replied with a shrug. “Or you can show him a new trick when he gets here.”

Tyson thought about it, and Bonnie let him have his time to think. She loved these lessons with Tyson. The kid was turning into a regular fish. He still didn’t like the sensation of water on his ears, but he was getting used to it. The more they worked together, the more progress Tyson made. She was so proud of him. She knew it wasn’t easy for the kid.

Dylan usually joined them for lessons, but today he was running late. She was looking forward to having him join them more than Tyson was.

“Okay,” Tyson announced. He took a deep breath and dunked his head underwater for approximately half a second. It wasn’t much, but he came up looking both terrified and incredibly pleased with himself.

“That was amazing!” Bonnie praised. The terrified look slowly faded from Tyson’s eyes. “Dylan is going to be super impressed. I know I am.”

“There he is,” Tyson said, waving to a figure across the pool.

Bonnie turned to look, and her heart skipped a beat. She loved that it did that. Dylan waved back to the two of them as he set his things on the edge of the pool and stripped down to his swim trunks. She had a feeling it would never get old to watch him take his clothes off.

“Hi, Dylan,” she called. A smile filled her face, and her heart did happy somersaults when she saw him. He waved and continued to set his things down on the edge of the pool.

“Are you two gonna get married?” Tyson asked.

“What?” Bonnie sputtered and did a double take as she turned to the boy.

“Are you gonna marry Dylan?” Tyson repeated.

“Why would you ask that?” Bonnie could feel the blush heating her face.

“Because you have a funny smile on your face when you look at him. He gets the same one when he looks at you,” Tyson explained. “I noticed since you had me practice looking at faces.”

Bonnie chuckled. She’d been helping Tyson practice emotions by looking at faces and tell her what they were feeling. It was something she did with her autism students, and it seemed to help Tyson figure out his own emotions as well.

“You are doing a good job of looking at faces and recognizing emotions,” she told him, patting his shoulder. She was having a hard time trying to come up with the appropriate way to explain this.

“So you are?” Tyson asked. His young face was so innocent. “I would like that.”

“Well, he does make me happy,” she told him. “But, marriage is a big step. I like him a lot, but I don’t think we’re ready yet. It’s important not to rush into a marriage.”

“Oh. Okay.” Tyson shrugged and then went back to blowing bubbles in the pool as he waited for Dylan to get in the water.
