He’d visited a lot of places in his life, but he’d never seen anything quite like the events taking place around him. And although not something he’d want to attend every month, he could see himself making it to one next year. Brett waved back at Grace, who was now standing in line at a bounce house. Since first coming up to him and Jen, she’d passed by him twice and each time she’d waved in his direction.

“I think she likes you,” Jen said.

“What?”

“Grace, your neighbor. I think she has a crush on you.” She leaned into his side and whispered in his ear, “She’s got good taste.”

Brett looked at the girl standing in line with her cousin and then over at Jen. “She’s what, seven, maybe eight years old? She’s just friendly.” Girls that young didn’t have crushes.

Jen made a tsking sound. “You’ve got a lot to learn. I had my first crush in second grade. His name was Mr. Fellows, and he was my gym teacher. I was devastated when he married one of the third grade teachers at the end of the school year.”

He tried to picture a seven-year-old Jen crying over her gym teacher. But he just couldn’t do it. “If you say so.”

Brett carried their drinks and looked around for a place to sit. The number of people on the common had doubled since they’d arrived. Rather than find an empty table, he spotted his friend Sean O’Brien. Some kind of strange contraption with tiny legs sticking out of it was attached to his chest. His wife sat next to him.

“There’s someone I’d like you to meet,” Brett said, before walking toward Sean’s table.

Sean and his wife were in the middle of a conversation, but when Brett stopped alongside the table they turned their attention toward him.

“Mia, Sean,” Brett said, greeting the couple.

“Hey, glad to see you made it tonight,” Sean said. “Have a seat.”

“We had no other plans, so we decided to come over,” Brett answered before looking at Jen. “Jen, this is Sean O’Brien and his wife, Mia.”

Sean’s wife needed no formal introduction. The woman had started starring in television shows and movies as a kid. Since meeting Sean though she’d taken a break from Hollywood and gone back to finish the college degree she’d started several years ago. He looked at the happy couple and tilted his head in Jen’s direction. “I’d like you to meet my girlfriend, Jen.”

The three of them exchanged greetings before Sean spoke again. “Jake’s here tonight. He and Charlie came up for Ma’s birthday. He’s over getting some food.”

“Sean’s sister is married to my cousin,” Brett explained to Jen. “Charlie’s not here?”

The infant attached to his friend made a noise and a tiny pink-covered foot moved. Immediately Sean started to unbuckle the contraption holding his daughter in place. “She went to visit her friend at the hospital. Jessie had her babies late last night.” Sean handed the little bundle to his wife and then he removed the carrier.
