CLAY
As I step onto the Nantucket ferry, I sense this family vacation will test
my patience, sanity, and ability to keep up with a five-year-old hurricane
named Rex. I’m the fish out of water, a single amongst three married
couples and a hyperactive kid.
I feel like an imposter—I am a pediatric surgeon who works with
children every day in and day out, but little Rex manages to exhaust me
within ten minutes of being in his presence.
My brother, Liam, claps a hand on my shoulder, his excitement
pumping like he’s ready to play his next NBA game. “Can you believe it,
bro? A whole week on Nantucket with this crew. We’re gonna have the time
of our lives.”
I muster a smile. “Yeah, it’s going to be great.” A poor attempt to sound
enthusiastic.
Trina, my optimistic sister-in-law, ruffles my hair. “Come on. You can
do better than that, Clay. You’re going to love it. Who knows. Maybe you’ll
meet someone special on the island.”
I chuckle, my face heating up. I’m not the only one who notices I’m the
single in the group. All of Trina’s sisters hold Nantucket dear to their heart.
That’s where they fell in love with their soulmates. Well, that’s not going to
be my story. I’m just happy to have time off work. This trip is an
opportunity for me to unwind and let go of my workaholic tendencies.
My knee gives way from a karate kick from behind. “Whoa.” I windmill
my arm and steady myself.
A blur of Rex dodges between the crowd.
“Hey, dude,” I call after him.
Liam laughs. “When does that kid run out of energy?”
I shake my head. “I should’ve brought my anesthetist so Rex could have
a solid nap”
“Aw,” Trina croons. “He’s only a little excited.”
“A little? Gee. Wouldn’t want to see him on Christmas morning.”
“I thought you loved kids?” Trina asks like the journalist she is.
I tunnel my fingers through my windblown hair. “I do.”
The sun casts diamonds over the ripples of the water’s surface. The
ferry’s horn announces our departure. I take a deep breath of the salty sea
air. This trip is all about family bonding. I’m not here to focus on my career
or my everlasting single status.
“I’ll go find Rex and win him over. Maybe then he’ll stop playing kick
and run.”
Liam grins. “Looks like he’s adopted you as an uncle. A good kick to
the shin is his sign of affection.”
I’m surprised Dalton hasn’t sorted Rex out. Bet little Rex has his
stepdad wrapped around his finger. The kid has a contagious giggle so you
can’t stay mad at him long. Even though I probably have six bruises by
now.
I pass Melanie, Trina’s younger sister, and her husband, Adam, who are
busy taking selfies against the picturesque ocean backdrop. Melanie pokes
her head to one side. “Clay.” She waves for me to come.
Oh, no. She wants me to feel included. I don’t need to photobomb them
reminiscing about their honeymoon on Nantucket.
I shove my hands in my jeans pockets and make my way toward the
shiny rail beside them.
