Chapter 20
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME Cate found herself at a petting zoo?
It’s been years. Decades.
And to come here with kids? The last time she was penned in with overfed farm animals, she was probably a kid herself.
“Remember when Nana took us to the circus?” Trevor asks her.
Cate searches her memory banks, but comes up short. “Are you sure I was there?”
“We all were,” he says, joyfully. “All the cousins, the whole family. You don’t remember Aunt Rita freaking out when a clown started making balloon animals in front of her face?”
“No,” Cate replies. “I don’t remember this at all.”
He shakes his head nostalgically, and folds his arms across his chest. “I’d never seen a grown woman scream like that.”
