Capítulo 65: Chapter 65 : Homecoming

Ken walked beside me as we got off the plane wearing a cartoon backpack and pulling his own little roller suitcase. He was growing up much too fast for my liking.

We went to the entryway of the airport where my mom said she’d have a driver waiting for us. She couldn’t leave my dad.

I looked around for someone holding a “Richardson” sign but there wasn’t anyone there.

While we waited, I noticed several men looking at me, eyeing me up and down as they walked by. Sometimes I’d get a wink or a smirk. I’d learned how to tune those out and not react.

Ken, on the other hand, seemed upset by it. He glared at the men passing by.

“Don’t look at my mom!” he hissed at a few of them. As soon as they were called out, my onlookers would look away quickly and hurry off.

“You’re growing into a young man,” I told Ken as he tried to protect me. He looked up at me with starry eyes.
