I bit into the first peach of summer, full of juice and sass. One boy was feeling bitter about going back to school while the other two were just fine. Might as well hit the mall, we agreed. Tilly's for shorts and shirts, Pac-Sun for jackets and hot pants, Zumiez for backpacks. The boys ran out with their friends as soon as we hit the driveway. I cracked open a water bottle and hoped it would be a good night at work.
