Hey guys! Here's book one of my sub series for Kai. It takes place at the same time as Beat Again, but the stories will be going completely different directions so neither of them will actually give away spoilers for the other.
"Kai!" Daniel smiled and ran towards his son, "I'm so glad you made it!"
Kai and Daniel embraced in a typical "man hug" as the two of them called it.
"Nya and Jay got here an hour ago. We're waiting on you to start dinner."
"Okay. Would you mind helping me with my bags then Dad?" Kai asked.
"Sure. How was your trip to Texas?" Daniel asked anxious to hear of his son's latest and greatest college excursion.
"It was amazing! I wish you and Mom could have come. You would have loved it there!" Kai replied. The entire week he had been fascinated by the view of the desert, and knew his parents would have loved to see God's masterpiece as well.
"Yeah, well Pastor Matthew needed our help taking care of some things with Sheryl passing away last month."
Kai looked at the ground. He had missed Sheryl's funeral while away for a different college sports trip. Sheryl deserved a good amount of credit for helping his parents become Christians in the first place. He couldn't remember how often they had had her over for dinner just to talk since then.
"You still miss her?" Kai asked.
"Yeah, but at least she's with God and her Luke now," Daniel sighed and opened the door.
The scent of pork chops wafted through the air into Kai's nostrils, "yum," he sighed.
"You know, I wrote it into my will that you'll get my secret recipe one day," Daniel nudged Kai's elbow jokingly and sat down alongside Lauren, Nya, and Jay.
Kai threw his bags into his room and joined them. He was looking forward to this meal.
He didn't think he'd inherit the pork chop recipe that night.
