Dad got us all cones, and once we were sitting down, Dad and David did talk to each other some,
but mostly David wanted to eat his chocolate fudge swirl.
My father smiled at me from time to time, and I smiled back, but I felt disconnected.
How many times had the two of them come here for ice cream?
How many birthdays had my father celebrated with his brother like this?
How long had he known Mabel and Josie and the rest of the people at Greenhaven?
How could it be that in all these years, I’d never spent any time with my uncle?
It was like my father had a secret life away from me. A complete family away from me.
I didn’t like it. Didn’t understand it, and I was getting myself pretty worked up about it
when David’s cone crushed in his grip, causing his ice cream to flop onto the table.
Before my dad could stop him, David picked up the ice cream and tried to cram it back onto the cone.
But the cone was shattered and the ice cream fell over again, only this time it landed on the floor.
