“If only the two of you had someone else to help co-parent each other’s children…”
“Coral!”
“I’m sorry. I can’t help it. I will die on this hill, you know.”
“Yeah, I’m starting to catch onto that.”
Dylan returns so we have to stop talking about him.
“So, Dyl. Other than drawing, what have you been doing to keep yourself occupied while we bunker away in this old farmhouse?” Coral asks.
“I don’t know.” His food is ready, and I bring it over to him. “Thanks, Coral.”
“I have been reading a little,” he finally reveals.
“Oh, yeah? What have you been reading?”
“I’ve been going back over the Harry Potter books I have on my old Kindle.”
“Very nice! Maxine is also a Potterhead.”
I look at her strangely.
“A fan of all things Harry Potter. Potterhead.”
“Ah.”
“She’s been begging me forever to take her to Universal Studios to Harry Potter World.”
“Why haven’t you?” I inquire.
“Just haven’t found the time yet.
“Well, after I sign this big deal, you’ll have plenty of downtime…and money to do whatever you want with,” Dean interjects. She glares at me angrily.
“I’m just saying.”
“And maybe we can go too?” Dylan turns to me and asks.
“Is that something you’d want to do?” Knowing my kid, exploring around a fake, magical world seemed like something he’d think he was too cool for.
“Well, yeah. They have a Jurassic Park ride that I want to go on.
“Jurassic Park? Since when do you like those movies?” I tried getting him into the first one when he was young, but he found it boring.
“Since Mina told me she liked them.”
And there it is. I’m kind of surprised he actually admitted that.
“Well, if it works out with our schedules, I’m sure we could go.”
“Awesome, Dad!” It’s nice to see him happy again. He finishes his food and asks to be excused to his room.
“You’d actually love it, Dean. There’s a Fast & Furious studio tour that you can go on.”
“Is there? That would be cool.”
“And we already know that Mina would go on that ride with Dylan. Maybe there’s another pretty brunette who might join you for the tour?”
