It had been a week since his aunt had advised Jake to take a firmer hand with Olly. It hadn’t helped. When it came to his nephew, Jake couldn’t do anything right. He’d tried spending a lot of one-on-one time with the kid: had taken him to explore the town, taken him for ice creams, taken him to the park. While Olly seemed to enjoy hanging out with him, he reverted to angry and resentful when Jake least expected it. That was when the going got tough, because Jake didn’t know how far to discipline Olly. Cilla had said to take a firm stand, to set boundaries. But she hadn’t told him how to handle a six-year-old whose eyes could fill with tears on cue as he stared at you with condemnation. So after seven days of what he considered serious bonding time with his nephew, Jake needed a break. He lined up Cilla to mind Olly while he scouted the final locations for the fair. Hopefully, with a friend in tow. He knocked on Sara’s door, wondering if his physical reaction to her had cooled.
