Watching Roman play with Ryder brought mixed emotions, he seemed so natural with him. Ryder seemed to connect to him too.
I was going to suggest to Roman he tell Ryder who he was, so he would learn to call him Daddy or Papa or whatever name he chose. That was assuming he planned to stay in his son's life.
When he asked me to join them for playing ball, he surprised me. He wanted me involved in their time together? We were having fun. Ryder was being his usual carefree self, mischievous, devil-like as always and it was making us both laugh.
To anyone looking in, we would like a family here on a day out. Oh how deceiving looks can be!
Though I guess in one way we were a family. Just a broken one.
“We ready to go get ice cream?” Roman asks.
“Yeah yeah” Ryder is tugging at Roman’s
