Chopping Spree gbcm-11

  “I’m here!” he hollered. “Happy birthday!”

  He didn’t even make it into the hall. I suppose that to the neighbors, we—Arch, Tom, Ellie, yours truly, and both dogs—looked like a football team. How else could a group of people and hounds surge forward in such a perfect wave? Nor would the neighbors have understood why we were yelling and carrying on. This was April the fifteenth, for crying out loud. Nobody was happy on tax day.

  But we were. After I hugged Julian, and Arch had given him a cool high five, Arch turned to me.

  “Hey, Mom,” he said, “I love you.” He gave me a tight, firm hug.

  “Happy birthday,” I said. And I hugged my son back.
