Sebastian nodded so hard I thought his head might fall off.

“Good,” she said, grabbing his hand. “Because your old man look like he need to stop being grumpy and enjoy himself too.”

“I heard that,” I called out.

Rain smirked. “Good. I wanted you to.”

All of us walked into Funland, and Sebastian instantly took off toward the basketball game.

“Slow down!” I called.

“I got him,” Rain said.

Sebastian grabbed a basketball and immediately started shooting while Rain stood beside him, cheering him on like he was in the NBA Finals. The funny part was he hadn’t even started the game yet because we still had to load the cards. Rain was hyping him up anyway.

“That’s it, little man!”

“Rain, the game ain’t even started,” I called.

“Practice makes perfect.”

Sebastian nodded seriously. “See?”

I just shook my head. While they were occupied, I headed over to one of the kiosks and bought a stack of game cards. By the time I wandered back over, they were both ready to play. Sebastian was still shooting, and Rain was acting like he was about to break a world record. Then Rain turned toward me.

“Little man beating everybody yet?”

“Nah,” I said. “But he talking enough shit to make you think he is.”

Rain laughed. “That’s because he get it from you.”

“The hell I do.”

“Please. Y’all the same person.”

I handed her one of the game cards. “Here.”

She looked down at it. “What is this for?”

“So you can stop standing around looking homeless and play something.”

Rain gasped dramatically.

“Homeless?”

“You heard me.”

“I’ll beat your ass.”

”Lies,” I chuckled.

She narrowed her eyes. “Pick a game.”

“Bet,” I smirked.

A few minutes later, we were standing in front of one of the motorcycle racing simulators. Rain cracked her knuckles and climbed on that bitch.

“You about to lose, partner.”
