The Grim Reaper

Day Twenty Three…

~~*****~~

Abigail and Ethan enjoyed the entire carousel ride. Nathan just stood there, watching them. He appreciated how Abigail was treating his son well. She was acting like a mother.

Nathan could see the joy on Ethan's face. He had been giggling and smiling for the entire ride… even after the carousel stopped. When they got off the carousel, Ethan ran in his father's direction and hugged his thigh.

Ethan gazed up and tugged the hem of his father's shirt. Nathan looked down, giving Ethan a questioning look.

"Dad! Thank you. I enjoyed the first ride. Let's buy cotton candy next!"

Nathan just smiled faintly, rubbing Ethan's head. "Alright."

"Miss Abi! Come, come!" Ethan waved at her excitedly. She just nodded her head and walked with large strides.
