Chapter 57 SUNDOWN SHORE

• M E R E D I T H
• The following morning, around six o’clock, the sun was already subtly showing through the pinkish and orange-like clouds as the aroma of coffee filled my nostrils the second I stepped downstairs. I knew immediately that my dad was up and he was getting ready for another day at work while the aromatic scent of toasted bread and something else tickled my nose. By the time I reached the kitchen with my small bag with me, I saw Lawrence and Thad had also managed to prepare their stuff in their joined small duffle bag where they probably had placed all of the male things that they needed for the weekend.
• Usually, my brother would bring one, and only one, extra shirt and sometimes never bring anything else aside from that. When he goes swimming, just like the old days, he only wears his boxers and after that, he waits for his boxers to dry from swimming and that is about it for him before he puts back his pants on. I guess it goes the same with Thad because ever since we were younger he had also worn his boxers with him and also only brought an extra shirt just like my brother.
