Chapter Three

“Are you dating my aunt?” Kyle sat in Evan’s car as they made their way to the first match of the season.

“Why would you ask that?” He wasn’t sure how to explain dating or relationships to a kid and he definitely didn’t know how to explain what was going on between he and Nina to Kyle. Hell, he didn’t even know. They spent tons of time together and had sex every chance they got, but Nina refused to call it a relationship.

Kyle turned to face Evan, making sure to tighten his seatbelt as he did. “Well you’re always at our house for dinner and sometimes you stay the night even though I’m not supposed to know.” He ticked off his fingers with every piece of evidence revealed. “You both look at each other all weird when you think the other one isn’t looking and Aunt Nina hardly ever cries or looks at the box under her bed.”

Box under her bed? Evan didn’t know what he was talking about but felt like he should interrogate Kyle about it. So he laughed but it was nervous not friendly. “I guess you could say we’re dating even though your aunt won’t call it that.”

“She doesn’t date. Even though guys are always hitting on her, she never says yes. I wonder why she said yes to you.”

Evan tried not to take that last part too seriously. “Maybe it’s because I’m so charming?”

“Nah I think she must like you. Did she like you a lot when you were younger?”

Evan nodded, his thoughts flashing to his nineteen year old self sneaking out of his own apartment with two gym bags full of clothes and his tennis bag. “She did like me and I liked her. We were in love.”

“But you screwed it up, right?”

He nodded. “What makes you say that?”

He shrugged as if what he was about to say wasn’t important. “Noah’s mom said some man must have really done a number on Aunt Nina because she’s too beautiful to be alone. And after what happened, she must have sworn men off forever.”

“What happened?” He asked in a voice that was harsher than he meant. “Sorry buddy.”

Kyle’s eyes widened in fear as though realizing he’d said something he shouldn’t have. “I don’t know.” He wasn’t supposed to know but he’d wondered what made Nina so sad so he’d looked in the box one day and ran to his room and cried for hours.

“Yes I did screw up. Big time. I left to go pro and I just left her a note.”

“You didn’t say goodbye or call later?” Evan shook his head in shame. “Why?”

Now it was his turn to shrug. “I don’t know. I was young and stupid. I thought it would be easier for both of us if I didn’t. But I didn’t know about your mom until you told me.”

Kyle looked up at Evan, his hazel eyes shiny and bright and serious. “Just say goodbye when you leave this time. Please?”

Evan’s heart squeezed at the kid’s heartfelt plea, his serious demeanor and everything he’d just learned.
