A missing scene for “May I Ride With You,” written for the Sunday Challenge prompt.

When Peter finds Caine teaching Mary Margaret, old insecurities rise beneath the surface. What begins as teasing and sparring becomes a quiet wound over closeness, belonging, and the fear that something once private between father and son is no longer his alone.

On Groundhog Day at the Blaisdell breakfast table, teenage Peter learns another strange family tradition while quietly missing the world he lost. Between teasing, bad hockey jokes, and found family warmth, he wonders if he will ever stop feeling like a guest in someone else’s calendar.

Halloween, and Peter is at Pineridge.

Sequel to 'With Friends Like These'
