The lake has always been one of my favorite parts of this property. One of my favorite places to be.

When we were young, my friends and I would race out here to go swimming in the summer time because the water was always cool. We’d go fishing and canoeing. It was that ideal childhood everyone always talks about.

By the time we hit high school, we started having bon fires out here. A few times we even convinced some of the girls to skinny dip in the middle of the night. Nothing like some moonlight reflecting off a girl’s creamy skin to make the crazy teenaged boy hormones go nuts. It’s a wonder none of us drown.

So this place holds a lot of good memories for me. I was excited when Greer agreed to bring the kids out here so we could all go fishing. It’s one of my favorite ways to relax and it might be good for Oli to get his hands on a fishing pole. Although I wouldn’t know. About forty-five second after the worm went on the hook and it all went in the water, Oli got bored. I don’t know what he was expecting. Maybe some sort of giant salmon or a shark. I kept trying to explain to him that no, the guy from River Monsters has never been here. We’re just looking for a few good-sized trout. That apparently wasn’t good enough for him. And it was taking too long.

So he’s off hunting frogs, Greer hanging out on the pier, shoes off, legs stretched out, just enjoying the last of the warm sun on her face and being out of the office, Julie and I sitting on the edge feet dangling toward the water.

There’s not much cell reception out here either, which means there’s no way she can get sucked back into working. Don’t get me wrong, I understand what it’s like to be a business owner. You’re never really away from the office, even when you’re away from the office. But one thing I’ve learned over the last month or so is that Greer never has any downtime. She has to take advantage of the time Oli is away by working, and when Oli is home, the battles are pretty constant. This may be the first chance she’s really had to truly relax in, well, in years.

“How come you don’t have any kids?”

Julie’s question shouldn’t take me by surprise. She’s not the first one to ask me. I glance over my shoulder at Greer who just looks at me and shrugs. I guess she wants to know the answer, too.

“Just wasn’t in my life plan, I suppose.”

“You know that’s weird, right?”

That comment actually does take me by surprise. I never thought being single and childless at my age could see strange, but I guess from a fifteen-year-old’s perspective it is.

“What makes it weird?”

She gently pulls on the fishing pole like I taught her, trying to entice a fish to bite. “You’re just really old to not have any kids and not be married.
