Three days since I have been able to see her. But today- today that ends. Today we are all going to the local pool. The whole group. Knox and me. Penny and Connie. Rachel. Adrian, Claire and their kids. And Penny said that her sister and brother-in-law might pop down with the kids. I am packing up the cool-box filled with food and drinks for Knox and me and everyone if they want to eat what I have brought. We seem to be having a heat wave at the moment and it is fucking roasting outside. I make sure that I pack a hat for Knox and the sunscreen. “Kid, let’s go. The girls are waiting for us to pick them up,” I shout up the stairs. I snatch my baseball cap up from the kitchen table and place it on my head backwards. I know Penny likes it like that. I hear Knox before I see him, he is like a baby elephant around the house. The wooden floors throughout don’t help. Adrian helped me find this house when I first agreed to come on board as a partner in his garage.
