In the blink of an eye, Jaquan had taken Stony to another place. After riding the bumper car, Felice was tired. But it was rare to see her son this happy, so she stayed with them for another half an hour. They didn't think of going home for lunch until the noon.
Felice was cooking in the kitchen, while Jaquan brought Stony into the bathroom to take a bath.
He filled the bathtub with water and took off Stony's clothes before putting him in. "Is the water cold?"
The heating in the bathroom had only been on for less than ten minutes, so it wasn't very warm.
But Stony shook his head and said, "It's not cold."
While Jaquan was helping him making bubbles, Stony was staring at him.
"What is it?" Jaquan asked.
"I just feel strange. This is the first time a man has bathed me." Stony covered his eyes and said, feeling a little embarrassed, "It was always Mom."
Jaquan paused and said, "I'll bathe you from now on, okay?"
