Chapter 10

After the meal, they all moved out to the wraparound porch to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Within a few minutes, Kaiah and Yareli’s husbands, George and Jacy, showed up with the kids in tow. Kaiah’s twin boys, Dakota and Jalen, shot out of the old pickup truck and hurtled up to the porch as Shani got excitedly to her feet.

The boys, now aged ten, must have grown a foot since she’d seen them the year before. She hugged them both at once while they chattered excitedly about the milkshakes they’d had at McDonalds and what positions they played on their Little League team. Meanwhile, Jacy helped his and Yareli’s three-year-old daughter, Naira, up the stairs, holding her pudgy hand in his as she took the steps one at a time.

Shani crouched down in front of the sweet little girl, so excited to see how big she’d gotten. When she reached out to hug her, Naira pulled away and buried her face shyly against her father’s leg. She no longer remembered her Aunt Shani. The realization broke Shani’s heart a little. Why had she stayed away for so long?

No more, she silently promised herself. I won’t let that bully keep me from my family any longer. I’m done running. I’m done hiding.
