Oscar heads toward the drive, but I call out a, “Hold up,” before running back to my place to grab some shoes. When I come back out Oscar is sitting on my front steps.

“So, no shoes?” he asks, as though prompting me to explain.

I grin, pulling him up, before crouching down to offer him a piggy back. “It’s an Aussie thing,” I tell him. “We hardly ever wear shoes.”

“Right,” he says, arms around my neck as I stand and start walking toward the sheds that house the barrel rooms. “So are you and Aunt Lulu like a thing now?” he asks.

I chuckle. “What exactly is a thing, Oscar?” I ask, stalling.

“You know,” he says, his hand flitting out in front of me. “Like boyfriend and girlfriend,” he explains. “Someone you get all smoochy about.”

I burst out laughing. “Is that what you and your girlfriend do then?”

“Pfft,” he scoffs. “I don’t have a girlfriend,” he says, in a disgusted tone.

“Really?” I ask. “Cause you seem to know an awful lot about boyfriends and girlfriends,” I add, teasing him.

“I just know things,” he says, as though this explains it.

“I see,” I add, offering nothing further in response to his questions.

We walk in silence until we reach the sheds. Oscar jumps from my back and heads inside, me close behind. I grab the clipboard that lists all the barrels Lu keeps and the dates and stock of what they’ve been used for. Just as I’m about to get started, Oscar surprises me with one more nugget of information.

“Well, I like you better than Aunt Lulu’s other boyfriend,” he says, before wandering off toward the back of the shed leaving me to contemplate just who this previous boyfriend was.
