"Mom, can we go to the park?"
My 5 year old son, Jake, asks.

"I'm not sure bud. I've got some stuff to do."
I said, I mean, that was the truth. I had a lot of things to do.

"Please? We haven't gone in so long."

"You're right. Come on, we'll go. But, we're going to eat first. Sound like a plan?"

"Mhm. Can I take my cars?"

"How about you take your baseball and glove and you can play catch."
"Okay, be right back."

Jake ran upstairs and grabbed his baseball and put it in the pocket of his hoodie. I walked out and locked my door behind me. I got into my car and picked a cassette. My car is a 1967 black chevy impala. She's a classic so all it has is a cassette player, but I don't mind.

Anyways, we got to the diner and Jake went to his favorite table since it wasn't being occupied. Yes the kid has a favorite table. I don't know either.

"What are you thinking of getting?"

"I want a burger and fries."

"I think I want the same thing."

"Can I get a milkshake too?"

"I'm not sure, bud."

"Please? I never get one." He asked looking at me.

"How about this; I'll order a large milkshake and I'll share with you. Will that work?"

"Yea. Thanks Mom."

Me and Jake finished eating so I paid and we got up to walk out the door. I was almost out the door when a group of boys came busting through the door. I made sure Jake was behind me and looked up and seen Bryce there. I haven't seen Bryce in 5 years. We spent a week together in Hawaii and then we lost contact.

"Bryce?"

"Roxy?"

"Yea it's me." I smiled at him.

"Wow, it's been a while. How's everything been?" He asked hugging me from the side.

"Pretty good. Yourself?"

"Not bad. Who's this little dude?" He asked ruffling Jake's hair and kneeling down to his height.

"This is my son, Jake."

"Hi, Jake. I'm Bryce, an old friend of your moms'."

"Hi, Bryce." Jake beamed at Bryce.

"How old are you buddy?"

"I'm five."

"Wow, you're getting big. Soon you'll be taller than me." Bryce joked to the smiling child.

"Mhm. Me and Mommy were going to go to the park. You wanna come?" Jake asked with big, hopeful eyes.

"Sorry bud. I gotta do some other things."
