March 11-St. Charles, Missouri

"Careful!" You exclaimed as you held onto the seat.

"Relax, Mom. I didn't even do anything."

"You just hit a curb, Riley!"

"At least I've never hit a person."

"Not yet!"

She turned the corner and pulled between the two yellow lines to park. She put the car in park and took off her seatbelt.

"See? That wasn't so bad."

"Right..."

"I'm getting better."

"Yeah. You know the difference between right and left now."

"Mom!"

"You just have to keep practicing."

"I know."

"Alright, Munchkin. You ready?"

"I wish you wouldn't call me that."

"But you're my baby."

"Goodbye, Mom."

"Bye, Riley."

She got out of the car and walked towards the door. You switched seats and pulled out of the parking spot and began on your way to work.

After a few minutes, you turned on the radio until you found what you wanted.

"Late at night I toss and I turn, and I dream of what I need." You sang along. "I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero for till the end of the night."

You pulled into the driveway and got your bag out of backseat before walking up to the door.

"Mr. Quill, I'm here!" You said as you walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Roxy!"

"How are you feeling today?" You asked as you washed your hands and opened up your medical bag.

"Besides the cancer? Like dog crap. I got the arthritis again."

"I'm gonna give you some Naproxen."

You opened the bottle and handed him the pill and a glass of water.

"Thanks."

"No problem. So, what do we feel like having for breakfast?"

"I wouldn't say no to an omelette."

"Coming right up."

You spent the next few hours doing chores and helping out Jason with whatever he needed. The two of you were in the living room talking while you dusted and swept.

"You seeing anyone?" He asked you.

"What do you mean?"

"You got a boyfriend?"

"Absolutely not."

"Why not? You're young and attractive. You should be dating."

"I'm not looking to date right now."

"The neighbor's son is single."

"He's like 20."

"So?"

"I'm twice his age!"
