The summer that the twins were three years old, Aaron took them to the aquarium. Molly cried and hid behind him, but Billy was fascinated, pressing his nose up against the glass, his hands spread out like starfish. Molly had to be coaxed to even come close to the exhibits; Billy tried to dive headfirst into the touch tank to swim with the rays, and asked for a pet shark for his birthday.

Sea stars and orca whales, oceanic currents and underwater vents, Billy talking mile a minute with a crab cupped in his hands. It all meant summer now.

The image of the kid with his face against the glass was perfect.
