ROLAND
Iâd seen Kenny a couple of times since the heart-to-heart with Cameron. Everything had been normal between us, but I paid more attention to how Kenny interacted with me compared to everyone else. One thing I wouldn't doâno matter whatânow that Cameron had made me aware, was lead him on. Although, I didnât think I was. It wasn't like Rhonda herself had shown up in spirit form and given me the answers I sought when I sat at her graveside, but there had been a difference.
Instead of leaving sad and listless for the rest of the day, Iâd felt peaceful. Cameron, Indie, and I had gone on to have a nice breakfast at a nearby diner before going our separate ways. Iâd headed toward Miss Georgina's neighborhood, visiting with her for a while, then on to help out some of the seniors on her list. Keeping busy had been just what I needed while I mulled over all the new feelings that Kenny had invoked.
If I hadn't been sure how much I valued my time with him, today solidified how I craved his company. There was no reason for me to head down the shore to Sunrise Park to watch fireworks. It wasnât like Kenny actually needed me to take him. He had family and friends in Little Beach Bay who he couldâve gone to spend the night with and watched fireworks with them. Instead, here I was, ready to fight traffic and crowds to keep him with me and a smile on his face
My knuckles barely touched the door when it swung open to Kenny, grinning maniacally. I was so used to seeing his meticulously put-together outfits that I was a little startled by the orange board shorts with white flowers and simple white tank top, with a pair of brown flip-flops on his feet. He pulled a green lollipop out of his mouth with a plop. âReady, Daddy?â
âReady as I'll ever be,â I said, trying to insert some enthusiasm into my voice.
Kenny cackled. âI'm not buying it, but I promise we're going to have a great evening.â He leaned down and picked up a large orange and white striped beach bag, which matched the board shorts. Why wasnât I surprised? Immediately, I grabbed it from him and swung it over my shoulder. âIâll carry this for you.â
Kenny pulled a pair of brown, large-framed sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on. âYou're such a sweetie, Daddy. Now let's go.â He grabbed my hand and yanked me down the stairs. As soon as we got to the bottom, he took off at a half-gallop skip through the yard.
âShortcake, slow down. While I'm happy to see that you're wearing appropriate shoes for the boardwalk, I don't want one of them to flip up by the toe and trip you.â
He didn't quit moving toward the SUV, but he slowed down. As I opened the passenger door for him, I said, âI brought a few bottles of water and baggies of cut-up fruits and vegetables for the ride down.
