Everette tugged Clare with him skipping out of the house and out back to the garden.
She sighed and walked to the bench by the fountain and sat down while Everette started playing with a ball Bryson had gotten him the day after they came back from their visit to the hospital. She sat there and watched him push the ball around.
He turned to look at her. " Clare? ".
" Yes what's wrong? ".
" Can I have candy now? You promised if I take my medicine this morning, you'll give me some, please ".
She gave him a small smile and nodded. " You wait here, don't go anywhere ".
He nodded hugging the ball. " I won't ". Clare stood up and walked back into the house leaving Everette and his ball alone.
Once she was gone Everette turned his attention back to the ball again, bouncing it up and down a bit, he threw it to the floor again ready to catch when it comes back up but his hands misses it and mistakenly hits the ball making it roll away and out of the garden.
