Chapter 22

As he started to open the front door, he paused and looked down at Nathan. “Hey, buddy? I need you to stick with me and not touch anything, okay?”

Nathan nodded seriously, his eyes wide.

Charlie opened the door and grabbed Nathan’s hand just before he tried taking a flying leap onto the first motorcycle he saw. “Nathan!”

His nephew turned, innocently looking at him.

Charlie bit back a laugh because he wasn’t sure if Nathan really didn’t realize what he’d almost done, or if he was manipulating Charlie. How old did kids have to be to start trying to pull things?

“Hey, Charlie,” Pete called from behind the small counter. “Who’s that with you? Is he looking for a motorcycle?”

Nathan giggled. “I can’t drive yet!”

“Oh, are you sure? You look pretty old. You must be about a hundred years old, right?”

Nathan laughed loudly. “He’s silly, Uncle Charlie!”

“What? You mean you’re not that old?”
