The Actor And the Housewife
“Becky didn’t see autumn as a glorious and exciting time of change, wind peeling away layers, alternately breathing chill on your neck and cuddling you in bright bursts of warmth. No. She saw autumn as Not Summer.
So she kept the Saturdays in autumn so packed with amusement and frivolity that no one (especially Becky) could slow down to realize what they weren’t.
One week after Felix’s sudden departure, the Jacks did something for everyone: a picnic up the canyon for Fiona, who loved the... early autumn colors (though Becky refused to acknowledge them, the traitors); back to civilization to fetch ice cream sundaes for Hyrum; a jaunt farther west to look for buffalo on Antelope Island for Polly; and some free running on the white beaches for Sam, sending kamikaze kites into the frantic, gusty sky. Mike was magic with kites, keeping those be-tailed jewels aloft in hurricane or vacuum. He put Hyrum on his shoulders and chased down the wind, the string trying in vain to tear loose from his iron hand.MoreLess
