Cody once again found himself mesmerized by Kacie in the kitchen.
It was early. About the time he'd normally wake up, but since Kacie started work today he wanted to bring her.
Kacie was like a goddess with children. She knew just how to handle anything with them, get their attention, or make math fun.
Cody put back on his beanie, rising from his chair and carefully pushing it in. After, he delicately picked up the wallet from off the table and walked inside through the open sliding door.
"You're up early." Said a soft voice from the dining room.
In there, sat Kacie. Her sun kissed hair sat in messy waves, with her tan legs exposed under her yellow dress.
"Yeah," Cody replied, "I- I wanted to come with you today."
"To school?" Asked Kacie, gathering her dishes as she met Cody in the kitchen.
"Yeah,"
"I- I don't know Codes, I want more than anything for you to be there by my side but you're not allowed to." Kacie sighed, sadness in her tone.
"Even to just drop you off?" Cody begged, "please?"
"I don't see a problem with that." Kacie weakly smiled.
Cody seemed to be doing a lot better, but Kacie promised herself — and Corey — she would take care of Cody. Going back to work and leaving him home with no baseball didn't sit right with her due to his unidentifiable state.
"We better get going," Cody smiled, snaking his arms around Kacie's waste as she gazed up at him.
"Yeah."
