SEVENTEEN

Wesley couldn’t wipe the grin off his face as he drove toward Shannon’s house. He knew that he and the boys would have a good time today, and he couldn’t wait to see the look on Shannon’s face when they returned home from their excursion. He’d made sure to bring along his camera so he could share the special moments with her at a later time.

As soon as he drove up, Jaycee and Brighton shot out of the house. Shannon tagged behind them with Melanie in her arms. She walked up to the driver’s side window as the boys piled in the truck.

“I think if they had to wait another minute, they would burst,” Shannon said. He loved her smile.

“I might be just as excited as they are.” Wesley grinned in return.

“Jaycee, grab your booster out of the car first.”

“Ah, I hate that thing. I want to ride in the truck like a big person.”

She held up her hands and shrugged. “Sorry.”

“It’s the law,” Wesley added. “You don’t want me to get a ticket, do you?”

“No, I guess not,” Jaycee grumbled, but retrieved his seat anyway.

“It’ll be worth it. I promise.” Wesley said the words to Jaycee, but he winked at Shannon.

“Just what do you have planned for today?” Shannon’s lips twisted.

“Nope. That’s top-secret information.” Wesley teased. “You’ll find out soon enough.”

“Well, you three have fun, then.” Shannon waved to the boys.

He wasn’t about to leave without giving her a kiss. He leaned out the window and briefly kissed her lips. “I’ll miss you.”

The boys waved goodbye to their sister as Wesley backed up out of the driveway.

Brighton turned to Wesley once they were on the road. “What are we doing?”

“First, we’re going to go find something special for your sister for Christmas. I need you two to help me pick something out. Then after that, I figured we’d go get some pizza.”

“Pizza!” Both boys whooped and hollered.

Apparently, that had been a good choice for their meal. He planned to let them play some of the games at the kids’ pizza place too, but he’d keep that part a surprise.

“And then I have another surprise. But we can’t go there until last.”

“For reals?” Jaycee bounced. “Where? Where?”

Wesley shook his head. “Not telling. You’re gonna have to wait.”

He clapped his hands together. “This is gonna be the best day ever! Huh, Brighton?”

Brighton shrugged. “I guess.”

“This is fun! Thank you for bringing us here. And for getting something special for my sister.” Brighton slipped a token into a game of skeet ball, between Jaycee and Wesley.

“Yeah, it’s super cool! Thank you, Wesley! I think you might be my favorite. Well, after Santa,” Jaycee exclaimed.

Wesley chuckled and tossed a ball into the five-thousand-point hole. “You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re having a good time. Now remember, Jaycee, you can’t tell Shannon that we got her something. It needs to be a surprise, okay?”

“Okay.”

“No hints, either,” Brighton warned.

“I won’t tell. For reals,” Jaycee asserted.

“Well, we need to scoot if we’re going to go to our last destination.
