It hadn't occurred to me that I oughta shy away from him. I see him standing in the water, and I don't think about slipping away, unseen. That sorta shit's never been me, anyway, and as much as I get that we probably made a mistake, it's not something I'm actively ashamed of.
Even if I wanted to slip past unnoticed, the pack of dogs and four-year-olds I've got with me kind of make it impossible. Gordon and Max run off with King, while Dexter sticks close with Mack and Flo, who are carrying between them a bucket of saltwater and sand, little mole crabs burrowing inside.
Slipping up beside him, I bend down to pick Sam up, saying to Mathias, "Dude, get outta the water." Sam's little arms go around my neck and I tell her, "Let's not give him a hard time. Okay, kiddo?"
