Chapter Ten

“Wait, wait, wait! Remember the time we filled my father’s car with pine air fresheners?” Mitch asked with bubbling enthusiasm.

“You did not!” Simone, Mitch’s wife exclaimed.

“We didn’t just fill it, Mitch. We rubbed those nasty things all over his cloth seats. I smelled like a pine tree for days!” Dave reminded him.

Renee laughed loud and spoke louder. “As soon as that boy walked into my house, I knew he’d been up to something! Dad and I called your parents right away ’cause we’d known he’d been with you.”

Mitch sat back in his dinner seat, threw an arm around the back of his wife’s chair, and tsk-tsked the past antic. “He was sooo pissed. That car smelled until the day he turned it in.”

Dave chuckled. “I think it was after that he told you to stop hangin’ with me.”

“No. That was after we disguised shaving cream as whipped cream and my mother put it on her ice cream.”

“That’s just mean and disgusting.” Kathy tried to look disappointed in Dave but couldn’t quite pull it off. The chuckle rose in her throat until it finally released itself with a snort.

Simone laughed as she fed their baby more food. “You won’t do nasty things like that will you, Emma?”

Dave chuckled as he watched Simone kiss her daughter on the head making Emma giggle and then squeal. Mitch sure had done right by himself—a beautiful wife and daughter, a successful architecture firm. There wasn’t anything his friend had that Dave wouldn’t have given his left arm to have.

When Mitch turned and kissed his wife, Dave thought. “Good for him. He deserves to be happy.”

He and Mitch had met in between fourth and fifth grade while attending summer camp and soon became inseparable. Their antics had started there with cherry bombs in the outhouses. Of course they never got caught but Dave had a feeling his parents knew it was him and Mitch. Especially with all the things they did in the years following their buddying up.

“You think that was bad,” Jake told Kathy. “You should have seen the look on our parents’ faces when these two changed the locks on the house doors. They bought the same handles and everything! Mom and Dad couldn’t get in.”

“Mitch, remember that?” Dave said with nostalgia. Reminiscing on the harmless pranks he used to play on his and Mitch’s parents was always a fun time. Plus their parents had been easy targets and good sports.

“I remember grounding you for a month.” Renee smiled at her son. “Course I blamed it on Mitch.”

“It was my idea, Mrs. Sanders,” Mitch confessed.

George slapped him on the back. “And a good one at that.”

“I miss your parents, Mitch,” Renee said with a sigh.

“We all do. They were good people.” With a pensive smile he turned to Kathy. “They were in Tower One of the World Trade Center bombing.”

“Oh, no! I’m so sorry, Mitch.”

“Thank you.”

Dave cleared his throat, “Remember when we tried to teach your mother how to snow ski?”
