“I do. We were in the same grade.”

Harrison gave the two boys a nod, and they all waved at the new arrivals.

“Now we can team up and each boy has an adult with them and an adult with the girls.” He smiled at me. “I hope you’re okay with my plan, Jo. I just wanted to make things easy for tonight so we all could have fun.”

Don’t you dare cry.

I shook my head. “I don’t mind. Thank you.”

“What rides do you want to ride?” He gave me a look as he handed out the other bands, and my heart sped up.

“Honestly?” I laughed. “None. I’m in it for the food.”

“Then food you shall have.” He bowed. “Come boys, let’s find a suitable place for your mom to sit with the girls. We’ll bring her some food and then we can start riding the rides!”

My boys cheered and went off with the men. Briar and Emma bounced in the stroller, having a good time people watching as long as no one came too close.

When they returned, they had some of everything. My boys have ketchup and I think chocolate all over their faces.

Grady and Tyler gave me sloppy kisses and Richard handed me a lemon shake-up.

“You remembered?” Butterflies filled my stomach as he nodded.

“Of course.” He shrugged. “Let me see your phone.”

“Why?”

“So I can put my number in. That way, you can call me.”

“Do you have a different number from when we were kids?”

He shook his head.

“Then I still have it.”

A small half smile surfaced on his lips, and he held his hand out. “Who’s ready to ride something?”

I watched as the three grown men took my boys to have fun.
