OUR LAST TRIP TOGETHER—AND NONE OF US KNEW WHY DAD KEPT LOOKING AT HIS WATCH

That weekend felt perfect. No screens, no stress, just the five of us packed into a pedal boat, drifting across the lake like we used to when we were little.

The twins were goofing off in the front, trying to splash each other. I was stretched out in the back, half listening to their laughter, half watching Dad pedal with that quiet smile of his. But something was off.

He kept checking his watch.

Not once. Not twice. Constantly. Like he was racing something none of us could see.

“Dad, chill,” I finally teased. “You’ve got nowhere else to be.”
