Connor helped his father out onto the deck, where the old man sat down on his swing seat.
“Thanks, son.”

“I couldn’t keep you away from the water when you were a child,” Jack said after a long moment.
The words surprised him. “What do you mean?”

Comment from Veronica Scott:
I thought the father’s remark was incredibly poignant in the snippet – really well done (as always)!
