Ohh! Thank you, Pookie! Gosh, I must be the luckiest man in the world. How did I ever get to be so lucky?
Luck has nothing to do with it. It was probable that you and I would end up together, and events just happened to fall into place to make that happen. Very favorable events. 🙂
Cecil looks to the lab phone, then back to Carlos. “Yes.”
“Huh. Okay. So you… you want to meet Max then? They might be doing a fire-side tonight… we can head over and say hi just before the sun sets.”
“I would love to meet Max. A friend of yours is a friend of mine Carlos. And he seemed lovely on the phone.”
“Heh… um, yeah… he’s a good kid. When he wants to be. Heh… yeah, I think you’ll like him.”
“I am ready to go whenever you are! I bet the camp will be interesting!”
“Yeah, it… it certainly is. It’s a different sort of interesting, but it’s still interesting. C’mon – let’s crash a fire-side. Heh!”
Cecil holds onto Carlos’s hand, a small smile on his face. “That sounds wonderful!”
“I got a pack of starbursts so we can hand them out to the kids. They’re great roasted over a fire.”
“It sounds.. neat! I’m excited!”
“Heh… me too, actually. Well you wanna put on your boots and we’ll head out?”
He nodded before heading over to grab his boots so he could join Carlos.
Carlos found the bag of starbursts as well as some other foodstuffs for s’mores. He grabbed his pack and a flashlight and smiled at Cecil, offering his hand.
