How I imagine they look now
✦ Author’s Note
Time doesn’t slow down — not even when you wish it would.
It’s been three years since that summer.
The fair. The ride. The moment Parker thought maybe everything was finally shifting in the right direction.
Now he’s fifteen.
Still the middle kid, but he feels older than that most days.
Charlotte is nine — full of fire and questions.
Alaina is four — sticky fingers and big feelings.
Lexie’s twenty-one. Jaxon’s twenty-six.
They’re still trying — to love, to hold it all together, to build something that lasts.
But this time, the story belongs to Parker.
Not the boy chasing permission.
Not the big brother stuck in the middle.
Just a kid trying to figure out who he is, what he wants, and where he fits in a life that never really slowed down to ask.
This is me trying.
