My Daddy and Uncles
Dad said as he sat down, helping himself to a few slices of pizza.
“Yes, I'll be there on time,” Uncle replied between bites. I glanced between them, curiosity getting the best of me. “Are you both going somewhere?”
“Yes,” Uncle chuckled, wiping his mouth with a napkin. “I'm taking you to my farmhouse for some fresh air.”
“Dad?” I looked at him, questioning whether he would be joining us or not. As I turned my gaze to my right, I met Uncle Harrison's eyes. In that fleeting moment, our eyes locked, and I felt a surge of nerves and excitement, silently communicating our unspoken understanding about the intimate evening ahead of us, away from prying eyes.
