Signal (2009)
“He puts together a sandwich in the kitchen, then joins Josie and me in front of the TV.
“You already ate?” he asks.
I nod.
“I see we’re all out of tuna, so I’m having tomato and cheese. It’s not too bad with that spicy mustard on it. I guess I need to go to the store.”
For once I’m glad my dad is such a haphazard shopper. There’s not much chance he’ll ever miss the food that I’ll be taking to Cam.
I look at Dad and wonder what would happen if I told him about Cam. But I can’t. I promised.
When ...a commercial comes on, Dad turns down the volume on the TV and says, “I saw on the calendar that you have your soccer physical tomorrow morning at nine-thirty.”
“Oh, right,” I say. “I forgot.”
“You can ride your bike there, can’t you?”
“Sure.”
“And can you mow the lawn afterward? It’s getting pretty long.”
“Okay,” I say. Our yard is a couple acres, so mowing it is not a quick job, but I don’t mind doing it so much now that Dad lets me use the riding mower.MoreLess
