LETTING GO

This time Leon let go of the handlebars there were no loud crashes, no skinned knees, or tears to dry. Chris' sneaker-clad feet pumped the petals furiously, his face filled with silent triumph as he glided down the path.

As Leon watched, Chris gained both speed and confidence. He streaked by and flashed a quick victory sign before hastily gripping the handlebars and swerving to avoid an old lady with blue hair.

"He's growing up fast," Leon mused, sitting down on the bench next to D.

"Yes, he is," D agreed with a smile. But his eyes held only sadness.
