"Mm Whatcha Say,"

 "YEAH SUMMER! WHAT WOULD YOU SAY!? HA! That's right sweetheart, YA CAN'T SAY SHIT! 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT HERE! OH, ONLY IF you STILL could... I guess ya did what ya did, 'cause you wanted it this way,' huh?"...Kadance lowly growled down at the Radio; and after pushing Kadance's trembling hand away from the tiny turnstile search knob, and back onto the steering wheel, 

Ricky quickly and desperately was now finding a different Station, preferably ANY other one playing any other song, than that ONE!

Ricky could only sigh, as he too was now glaring down at the device, as he flicked through the entire display line, before side-eying over at a very still, seemingly frozen in Time looking Kadance.

Now filled with Regret, and as the words of the new Song played...


soon they were washing away the former rage those three lyrics had set him off; and now the Song playing, seemed to do the exact opposite; and as it's filling up the car's cabin with the sultry yet intriguing tones, 

of Cat Stevens; and just some how knowing, HE already knew, about how the talented man had been one of her long standing, favorite 'Oldies But Goodies' kinda genre of Singers; and Ricky gulped as he once again, helplessly watched his Brother In Law, slowly began falling a bit further apart...Especially as the Song FINALLY came to the extended Chorus part...


"Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world 

It's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh, baby baby it's a wild world

And I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

And it's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world

And I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Once they returned from their no longer avoidable destination, as soon as he had pulled up into the Drive, Kadance had asked Ricky to call over Tate's sitter, because RIGHT NOW? SHE REALLY needed his money, just as he desperately needed some alone time RIGHT NOW, with his rapidly escalating thoughts; as a lot of anger kept right on building toward Ricky's Twin. 

After everything was said and done, Ricky decided to call out sick, and he bluntly had told Jimmy why.

Same as he patiently had explained to Staci Lee, Tate's Babysitter, their Friend and next door neighbor.

 Ricky had made certain, Tate and his sitter had been concentrating on their Go Fish card game, so that Kadance could easily slip out the front door...

While at the Neighborhood Park, Kadance had penned inside the Black Leather bound Journal the following Song...August Moon 

[Verse One]

Well, I was drivin' in the rain - no compass guiding my Freedom plight-

Yeah, movin' down the road, with no direction in mind; no authority in sight
