she prompted gently. “Well,” James blurted out, words finally tripping over each other, “you helped me that day. With the mud. And the falling. And my.. clothes.” Mia smiled, clearly amused. “That’s it?” He nodded quickly. “Yes. Absolutely. One hundred percent gratitude-based chocolate.” She laughed softly, the sound light and warm. “You’re funny.” James rubbed the back of his neck, cheeks warming again. “I get that a lot. Usually right before people stop taking me seriously.”

"It's me." He leaned forward across the counter. "Caleb," he said. "Caleb Pearce." The name dropped into the silence between them and hung there. James blinked. His mind moved slowly, pushing back through old corridors. His posture shifted almost involuntarily. "Pearce?" he repeated slowly. The man grinned again and this time there was something real beneath it. Something that hadn't been there in the performance moments ago. "Yes! Caleb Pearce." James looked closer now, pushing past the added weight, the wrinkles carved by time, the weariness sitting behind the eyes. Beneath all of it, beneath everything the years had deposited on top, the grin was still there.

James came running into the kitchen, throwing open the freezer to pull out a Popsicle. “James. It’s ten in the morning,” Sara remonstrated. But at Ruth’s raised eyebrow, she gave in. “Fine, one Popsicle. And be sure to take one out for Travis.” “He likes purple. You should come see the grasshopper. It’s green,” James said, his eyes wide. “Jamesy, come on, show your old grandma this huge green grasshopper. Maybe we can collect some roly-polies if we’re lucky.”

Jacob is not around either, he went out telling no one where he was going to. James goes to change up. I wish I can change up too, exchange my dress for a t-shirt and shorts. He returns wearing a black hoodie and black skinny jeans ripped at his left knee. His shoulders are accented, the hoodie hangs from them. Lean, broad, strong. My eyes travel to his feet which are large, maybe a forty-seven. His toenails—like his fingernails—are tall rectangles, clipped and clean. While James cooks, Natalie and I watch a romance movie on their humongous flat screen TV. Natalie rolls her eyes at the clichés.

Extra 17: I Already Knew James was happy that his grandfather wasn’t upset with him for choosing to be like his dad and that he would support him in his studies. Motivated by this excitement, James showed him his sketchbook. They weren’t full-fledged blueprints like his dad made, but it was a great start.

Three years after James's birth, Grace found that their family had accomplished something that felt both whole and prepared for further development, especially since Phoebe had made the move to kindergarten with assurance and excitement and James had grown into a talkative, gregarious preschooler whose disposition matched his sister's leadership abilities. On a cool autumn day, she was working from home as James played imaginatively and they both waited for Phoebe to return from her first full day of kindergarten. James pointed to his intricate block creation, which had taken up the majority of his morning, and said, "Mama, when Phoebe comes home, James show Phoebe the castle,"

"You?" "Yup," Molly said, "Big time." "Well that's a fucking problem," Lexi said. She sighed and leaned back. They heard the screech of a tent zipper and James stepped out into the sunlight. He was wearing a pair of small, dark blue shorts. Not a speedo, but something small and tight that left his every muscle out in the open to be appreciated. James tossed back his greying hair and stretched his arms outward. Molly practically creamed herself watching the muscles of her Daddy's arms -- his chest, his legs -- tense and bulge.

Megan swallowed the retort that sat on her tongue, wanting to remind her mother that there had been few dinners where she would’ve even noticed Megan’s vegetable-hiding underneath the haze of booze. “I’m just tired. Sorry I’m such terrible company,” she said instead. “Are you sad about your store?” James asked. James, at the age of six, had just finished first grade and was growing like a weed. Nobody knew where he was getting his burst of height from—Sara was average height and so was James’s father. James liked to say that he got his height from his soon-to-be stepfather Harrison. “Yeah, I am sad,” Megan replied. “I can’t stop thinking about it.”

I can see James keeps on staring at the shop. "Honey?" I sounded but he didn't budge. "Hon," I repeated but his eyes were focused on the shop. "James, are you alright?" I knock off. He budge and look at me. "Hmmn." He replied briefly. "Honey, is there something you want to do? You can tell me while we are here." I told him. "I want to buy sweet, spicy crab and a blueberry cheesecake if you don't mind." He muttered hesitantly. I laugh at how childish he is!
