Adrian had been in town for a couple month and was beginning to get into a decent routine both at home and in his new workplace. He loved his new position and felt it gave him more opportunities to work with science which was what he loved. Of course there would always be paperwork, that was impossible to escape, but it was not as heavy as his last job. Plus, his hours were much more convenient for raising Chris. He could drop him off at school in the morning and drive right to work. After school, he arranged for him to go home with a friend. Considering it was still summer vacation, however, made life a bit more complicated. Adrian was reduced to arranging for babysitters which he wasn't all that comfortable doing, but he had to.
Today was Saturday, and he decided to go for a walk in the park with Chris. His son had to sustain injuries far more severe than him, and he still had some recovery to make, but he was progressing. The physical therapist encouraged them to take walks together so he could regain his full strength. One of his friends had come along with them to the park, and they stayed together for a little bit, but inevitably the two boys wanted to go off and play together which he allowed as long as they were in view.
He watched as they ran off to play in the grass, and he took a seat on one of the park benches and began reading some of the lab reports he needed to look over for work following the weekend. He wondered when he'd be able to contact James. During the moving process, Adrian had neglected telling his stepson because he was so stressed out with the change. He intended on calling, but he knew James probably wouldn't take his calls. Eventually, he was just going to have to write a letter or contact the school to let him know. He looked up from the report and scanned the area to make sure the two boys were still in his vicinity.
