Cory, usually a slowpoke, immediately quickened his pace, “Didn’t we agree to pick up lvy first? We can’t let her

“Dad, what happened to your hand?” Cory’s gaze landed on the bandaged hand of Wayne, his small face instantly
creased with worry.
“I was careless cutting myself.” Wayne bent down to explain to his son, T’m sorry for making you worry, bud. I’ll be

“Okay.” Cory said, his eyes shifting to Rosalynn.
