"Sam, be careful on the slide." Nate looked up. "Are you sure you can go on your own?"
Sam rolled his eyes. "Dad! I'm nine--"
"Eight," Nate corrected.
"--nearly nine years old," Sam went on without pause. "I can go up some stairs and slide down a water slide."
Maggie laughed from where she was spread out on the blanket, worshiping the warm May sun. "You're overbearing, Nate. Let him have fun with his friends."
"Yeah, Dad."
"Fine. Go. Have fun!" Nate watched Sam run off and settled down on the blanket beside Maggie.
"You worry too much," Maggie murmured. She sat up and handed him the sunscreen. "I'll let you get my back if you stop worrying."
Nate laughed. "All right. How could I argue with that?"
