Kade

Things had changed between Cam and me. It wasn’t specific, but it was noticeable. That night on the deck, it was as if we’d made a decision, but we weren’t exactly sure what decision we had made or how to go about it.

But small gestures pointed to something building between us. We’d always been friends, but there were more smiles, more rough housing, more ridiculous excuses to touch or be near each other. And, definitely more heated looks over the boys’ heads as we made dinner or watched a movie or played at the beach.

“Looks like this weekend is a wash for outdoor plans,” Cam reported as he scrolled through the weather app on his phone. “Storms Saturday and rain all day Sunday.”

I shivered at the thought of storms. My school had once had the roof ripped off during a tornado. Scary shit for a little kid. Storms weren’t really my thing, but I kept it under wraps for the sake of Myles and Evan. I didn’t want to pass my fears onto them.

“Big storms or just some thunder?” I asked Cam.

“Looks like we’re in for some pretty severe weather. Hail, lightning, damaging winds, possible tornadoes,” Cam said.

“Fabulous,” I muttered.

“Huh?” Cam looked up from his phone.

“Nothing. Just thinking we probably better get some rainy day groceries and make sure we have plans to keep the boys entertained. They’ve gotten used to being outside all day long. Being stuck inside most of the weekend will be rough.” I grabbed a piece of paper and started making a grocery list. “Probably better make sure we get candles. And things we can eat without the oven in case we lose power.”

“Good idea. I’ve got the generator in case the power is out for an extended period, but it’s best to be prepared. Let’s do a family trip to the store. It will be more fun if the boys are involved in getting our supplies.” Cam headed to the playroom to round up the boys.

And my gut did a double flip-flop at his easy use of the word “family” to describe our little unit.

Saturday morning dawned hot and muggy, the sunshine bright as it rose in the sky.

“Better enjoy the sun while we can,” Cam said. “The hotter it gets today, the bigger the storms will be this afternoon and evening.”

He was right. Summer storms fed and grew on hot, humid air. The more the temperature rose, the higher the chance we’d have severe weather. I took a deep breath, trying to calm the fear knotted in my belly.

While the boys went out to play in the woods, Cam and I made coffee and fixed breakfast. The evening before, we’d taken the boys to the local discount store and stocked up on lighters, candles, food, drinks, and entertainment.

“Let’s get new video games!” Myles had shouted in excitement, and each of the other boys had agreed.

“We can get that one game you and Declan have been wanting, but if we lose power in the
