Teagan

I had no idea how much dirt a window box required. Simon and I had purchased four large bags, and each box took two. He was off buying us more so I could fill the four boxes that graced the front of the house. I hadn’t seen Kane since he’d suggested this—that was a few days ago. Hopefully he wasn’t having second thoughts; with how things were left, I wasn’t really sure.

The bright flowers looked so pretty against the creamy white of the box. I finished the two boxes and, while I waited for Simon, dug a little garden near the front stoop. Unlike the dirt, I had purchased too many flowers and thought a colorful garden by the door would be welcoming. Digging through the dirt, I uncovered so many worms. I grinned at the memory of Kane and his worm potpie when we were kids. I had never seen him look so grossed out. I lifted one of the little guys in my hand and felt its wet little body squirming. A heaviness settled in my chest remembering Kane when we were kids—he’d had so many dreams, like his wish to build a boat, and the fire had cost him all of them. Zeus appeared at my side. I was so startled I nearly tossed the worm.

“Tea?”

Hearing Kane’s voice pulled me from my forlorn thoughts. “By your front door. I was adding a garden just off the steps.”

“Sounds nice.”

A few seconds later, he was on the ground next to me. Reaching for his hand, I dropped the worm into his palm.

“Don’t eat him,” I teased.

The smile came in a flash. “I never did get you back for that.”

“You teased me enough growing up.”

“Maybe, but that trick was really disgusting.”

“Yeah, lucky for you that you didn’t just dig in to your dinner.”

“And that’s what made it so disgusting. The what-if.”

“The look on your face was classic. I should have gotten a picture.”

“You would have had it turned into wallpaper and papered your room with that instead of the blue silk.”

“Nope, the blue silk matches your eyes perfectly.”

“Could have had my whole grossed-out face.”

“Nope, your eyes were the very first thing I noticed about you when we met. Did you know that? Just those eyes, so blue.”

His smile faded. Touching his chin, I turned his head to me. “Just because they don’t see doesn’t mean they aren’t still the windows to your soul. I still see you, Kane. I can still see inside you.”

A light brushing of his fingers over my face told me he was reading my expression and could see that I wasn’t kidding. I meant every word. Cupping my chin, he brushed his thumb over my cheek. “Sorry about the other day. I could have really hurt you.”

“You are bigger than me Kane, but I’m not a doll. I’ve taken your weight before.”

“Not like that.”

“I’m still here. I still want to be here. I’m still going to eat all the cake Mrs. T has made for dinner.”

“Not if I get there first.
