A Moment in Destiny

“Erm! I’m only afraid that Sherry wouldn’t agree!” William winked at the person beside him but Sherry didn’t reply.

“No, uncle, I welcome you to my house!” Dan said like a little host.

Sherry kept her silence but was very depressed. The more she didn’t want them to have any contact, the more they were involved with each other. She looked to the side at William and he also looked at her at the same moment. Suddenly he teased her, “Ms. Murray, will you take me in tonight?”

“As you wish!” Her heart quivered but her mood seemed elated. She turned her face away to compose herself.

“Uncle, is your cold better?” Dan was still worried.

“Yes! I’m feeling much better!” William felt very touched by his concern.

“Does daddy have a cold?” Once Sammy heard what Dan said, he also became concerned for his father.

“Yes! But I’m fine now!” William suddenly thought that it was great to have another kid. His father should be happy to have another child and wouldn’t object that much.

“Then tonight uncle can eat spicy food!” Dan said and tugged on Sherry’s clothes, “Mommy, you can make spicy chicken for uncle. Yesterday uncle didn’t eat!”

“Ah! Eat spicy food?” Sammy heard and he became worried, “Can we not eat something spicy?”

Amusement Park.

The two kids held hands and walked in front. It was the first time Dan came to an amusement park and was particularly happy. Sammy was also much more carefree.

“Don’t run too fast. Decide what you want to play!” William shouted.

Sherry looked at his dark back view and was momentarily dazed. She didn’t think that he could be so warm, tender, and full of love for his son.

Dan held onto Sammy and looked at the big windmill ride, “Uncle, can I ride that?”

“I don’t want to!” Sammy shook his head and was nervous.

William looked skyward towards the cabin. The tourists would ride on the propellers of the windmill that rose steadily. Thereafter the big arm rotated while the cabin arm also rotated. Then the cabin would spin due to centrifugal force. The three motions combined to give a graceful and wild 360 degrees dance of the windmill. It rolled, twisted, turned, and rocked freely amidst the blue sky and white clouds. It was truly thrilling!

“Dan this is too dangerous!” Sherry was also very nervous but Dan didn’t think so.

“Mommy, it’s fun!”

William thought and he also liked these thrilling and dangerous rides. He admired Dan and looked towards Sammy. He said carefully and softly, “Son, a boy must be brave. Dan dares to ride it, so why don’t you?”
