Iniko: A New Beginning
I know he’s saying it in case something happens between Iniko and me, but honestly, after everything that has gone on in my life, it feels good to know that I have someone as strong as my dad who will always be here for me.
“Thanks, Dad,” I say, hugging him tightly.
After that, I go around and hug my family, holding on to each one of them.
“You do realize we’re only going about a half mile away, right? I’m not taking her away from all of you,” Iniko says, sounding hurt.
“It’s not the same, Kiko. We’re used to having Brooke here for dinner, movie night, and late-night talks. Now she won’t be here. It feels like we’re saying goodbye,” Cyrene says, walking over to hug her brother.
