Vinnie

Why don’t one of us just call him?

Why are we worried about him?

Kenneth

He seemed really down at the party last night. Him and Rooster left early.

Ollie

They did?

CJ

I didn’t notice either… we’re terrible friends

Emmett

You aren’t terrible.

I just… It’s hard being the only little at the parties. I keep thinking another one will pop up, but so far haven’t found anyone else.

Ollie

What do littles like to do at parties?

Emmett

Idk

But I brought crayons and Legos just in case

Cj

Please hold

Mason

Um okay?

(two hours later)

Emmett

Best. Playdate. Ever.

EPILOGUE

“I

appreciate you coming in to talk to me,” Tomas said to the young man he’d just interviewed for the position of activities director of the summer camp the club sponsored.

Foster smiled at him, holding out a hand. “I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to talk to you about the position, sir.”

Tomas nodded and led him over to his office door. “I think you would be a good fit. I’ll have to talk to my officers before officially hiring you though. If any of them have issues with it, it might not happen. I want to be clear about that.”
