She hurried into the kitchen and put the pails on the counter and went out to the back porch to greet him. “Craig!” she waved. As he came closer, she saw he had a patch across an eye. His face was caved in on one side. He stopped at the porch and put down his bicycle. “Hey, hi ya, Kate.” “Craig! Great to see you!” She moved forward and gave him a hug. “How are you?” “I’m okay,” he answered from the good side of his face. “Heard Ben’s home.” “Yes! He’s in the barn.” This was wonderful, just what Ben needed, a friend who would understand what he went through, someone to share it all with. Kate watched Craig walk his bicycle to the barn, heard Ben call out in welcome. She wondered about bringing them iced tea but decided to leave them alone. After some time, Kate spied the two of them walking side by side, Ben on his crutches, Craig pushing his bicycle. Laughing. Craig slapped Ben on the back. They shook hands. “See ya, buddy.” Then Craig rode off down the lane.
