It was the kind of “uhh” you say when you’re watching a scary movie and the bad guy like jumps out of the bushes.
Anyway, I know it wasn’t nice of me to do that, and though the kid didn’t hear me, I know his sister did.
“Jack! We have to go!” said Veronica. She had gotten up and was turning the stroller around
because Jamie, who had obviously just noticed the kid, too, was about to say something embarrassing.
So I jumped up kind of suddenly, like a bee had landed on me, and followed Veronica as she zoomed away.
I could hear the kid’s mom saying softly behind us: “Okay, guys, I think it’s time to go,” and I turned around to look at them one more time.
The kid was licking his ice cream cone, the mom was picking up his scooter, and the sister was glaring at me like she was going to kill me.
I looked away quickly. “Veronica, what was wrong with that kid?” I whispered.
“Hush, boy!” she said, her voice angry. I love Veronica, but when she got mad, she got mad.
