Summary: Rick is trying to keep something from his dad. His dad is going to share something with him.
Rick bent over the sink and scrubbed harder at the stain. It wasn’t coming out! His shoulders ached more with each moment, and he wanted to get this done. I have to finish this before dad comes home!
“Rick?” The ten year old paled and turned to see his father standing in the doorway, Jennifer visible behind him. All Rick cared about was the look in his father’s eyes, though.
“Dad…” He swallowed and glanced back at the shirt, and at the grape juice stain marring the once-flawless whiteness of it. “Um…I …spilled my juice?”
Each step that his father took over to him echoed in Rick’s mind with the knell of doom. That was my best shirt. Dad gave me that. And I messed it up. His father wasn’t going to ever forgive him…
“Here, son. Let me show you how to take care of that.” Kind eyes smiled down at him. “It’s an old family secret for getting stains out.”
The End
