EXTRACT:
The bear had belonged to Kelsey since birth, a present from her doting nan and pop, and now all Kelsey wanted was Boo Boo. If she didn’t get what she wanted her bottom lip would quiver and her eyes would water before she launched into heart wrenching cries and ear-piercing screams. Kelsey was crying up a storm and it didn’t look as if she was going to stop any time soon. When Kelsey cried, everyone knew about it.
‘Logan, you forgot to pack Boo Boo,’ Dana snapped at her husband as she changed course, walking over to where he sat. ‘That was your only job.’ Dana was pissed off and Kelsey was working herself up into a fury. Not a good start to the afternoon. It was going to be stressful enough without this on top of it. It made Dana weary just thinking about what was to come.
Logan burped loudly in response, scoring him a fist bump from James, who sat beside him in a matching sky-blue camping chair.
Logan looked up at the squall coming from his daughter but stayed sitting in his chair, content in the knowledge that his capable wife would handle it.
‘Darling, can you have one of Nan’s toys for today? Boo Boo will be waiting for you when you get home.’ She tried to placate her daughter, but she was having none of it.
‘I want Boo Boo.’ Dana pulled Kelsey close to her, smoothing down her hair, yet the little girl continued to wail and Dana looked at her mother over the top of Kelsey’s head.
Alesha came out of the house carrying a Bavarian cheesecake. ‘What’s all the racket, young lady?’ she asked, trying to inject cheerfulness into her voice.
‘We forgot to pack Boo Boo. I’m going to have to drive home and grab him now,’ Dana said, disentangling herself from Kelsey’s strangling hug. ‘Honey, I’ll be back soon. I’ll bring Boo Boo with me, OK?’ Kelsey pouted for a moment longer, then smiled. For Dana to see her daughter smile at her like that meant everything.
‘How ’bout I watch her while you’re gone?’ Alesha offered, meeting her eyes. Dana hesitated. She was torn. On one hand, Alesha was a responsible adult, not like her inebriated husband, but on the other, they still weren’t on the best of terms. Could she trust her? Dana looked over at Logan, who was onto his sixth or seventh beer, she had lost count, then back at her sister. Alesha loved Kelsey, she would look after her – besides, her mother and father would be there too and home wasn’t far away. Surely Alesha could handle Kelsey for half an hour or so. The sooner Dana went home and brought back the bear, the better.
Dana, Logan and Kelsey lived in a small cottage in town, which would be too small when the baby was older. Dana had already begun boxing up some stuff to go to charity for when they eventually moved house. Their current place was quaint, a real fixer-upper. It had old patterned lino flooring in the kitchen, threadbare carpet in the lounge and was stuffed with furniture, pieces Dana had collected over the years. None of it matched, but somehow it worked.
