Passing by the posh parked cars on the roadside, Gabriel made her way to pick up her son from school. Standing at the school gate, she spotted Ethan in the distance, waving with a blue schoolbag strapped to her back.
He ran towards Gabriel with excitement.
Gabriel patted his little head, and asked, “How’s your first day of school? Are you happy?”
“Yep, I made a bunch of new friends today. We asked them to visit our house and collect seashells together.”
Gabriel wrapped her arm around Ethan’s shoulder affectionately, asking, “Is your tooth still bothering you? Mom will take you to the dentist.”
Ethan nodded, then suddenly gazed into the distance.
“Mom, I think I just saw the uncle.”
“Which uncle?”
“The one who looks a lot like me.”
Caleb?
