“Okay, kiddos! Today is our last day, and if you’re new to camp this year, this is your free day! We have stations set up around the field for y’all to play at and we’ll break for lunch in two hours, but otherwise be safe and have fun!”

I can’t conceal a wide smile when Aidan stands at the home plate to ring in the end of camp. I guess normally Rhodes would be the one doing the honors, but he had a brand photoshoot he couldn’t get out of and had to miss today. He asked me to accompany him to the shoot, but I wanted to be here with the kids. This program has been so fun and informative.

My dad offered to tag along and so far; the kids love him. Dad turns to me with a wide smile as everyone disperses across the field to the different stations, a large group walking to the makeshift batting cage in the outfield. “This is so much more involved than I was expecting after how you described it to me, Starshine.” He links his arm with mine as we head to Aidan’s station near one of the dugouts.

“Right? I was surprised when Rhodes brought me here the other day, but it’s been so much fun. Twice a year they host between twenty and fifty local foster kids, and God, Dad, some of the things these kids have dealt with are heartbreaking.”

Just then someone crashes into my back and if it weren’t for my dad, we both would have gone sprawling. “Wren, you’re here!” Ava screeches excitedly. I regain my balance, turn, and hug her back; suddenly, I’m even more happy I chose to come here today instead of sitting in a stuffy studio with Rho.

I introduce a clingy Ava to my dad. “Dad, this is Ava. She’s been my shadow in a bid to learn everything there is to know about Public Relations in professional baseball. Ava, this is my dad, Archie.”

Dad holds out his hand to shake hers, and even though she scoots behind me, she tentatively reaches out and accepts the shake. “It’s nice to meet you Ava! Has my girl been showing you the ropes?”

Ava nods enthusiastically. “I want to be just like Wren when I grow up!”

My dad laughs, but I nearly burst with pride. I’ve always loved my job, but I never really thought of it as something a kid would aspire to be. Ava is such a sweetheart, and I’m pretty sad that I may not see her again after today. I ruffle her hair and smile down at her. “I bet you’ll be even better than me, Ave.”

She smiles and skips off, presumably to find her foster brothers. Dad turns to me with a twinkle in his eye and a knowing grin quirked on his lips. I groan, fully aware what’s coming.

He laughs at my feigned irritation and tosses an arm over my shoulders. “Oh, come on, Starshine. You can’t blame an old man for wanting a grandkid or two.
