“Uncle Ty!” Knox called out to me, waving me over, so I went. He seemed a little better, a little lighter since the talk.

“You finish your homework?” I asked as he bounced the ball.

“We don’t have any homework for a while.” As his grin widened, I stared him down. “We just have to focus on our assignments, get them done.”

“And what did you get done?” I asked him.

“I finished about half of my maths assignment. No idea if it's right, but it's done. Then I wrote a page of my English assignment.” He shrugged then, all nonchalance. “I figure that’s enough.”

Praise that boy, Momma said inside my head. He’s worked hard. Make sure he knows that.

He bounced the ball harder then, looking like a kid that was facing down a firing squad, so I’m pretty sure he didn’t expect this. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders, pulling him close. He stank of sweat and teenage boy funk only partially masked by Lynx body spray, but I hugged him tight anyway.

“I’m proud of you, little bro.” He let a long breath out. “I know this shit is hard for you, but you did it anyway.” I released him then and he stared up at me. “That’s what a man does.”

He nodded, trying to play it cool, but I saw it. His cheeks flushed bright red, and not just from exertion.

“Now go inside and wash up for dinner. You guys will be fending for yourself tonight.”

“Please tell me Uncle Cole isn’t cooking,” Knox groaned. “I can’t eat any more burnt French toast.”

“Chilli’s on the stove, cornbread’s in the oven,” I told him.

“Yes…”

“And show your math assignment to your uncle.” Cole hated math more than Knox did, if it could be believed. “See if he can check your work for you.”

“So, you’re going…” I watched my nephew’s Adam’s apple bob. “You’re going around to Miss’ place to try and convince her to give it a go?”

“Yeah.” I held up my bag. “Ain't no woman alive that can resist my chilli.”

I just hoped that was actually the case, I thought, as I walked over to my car.
