Iniko: A New Beginning
I say as I race to catch up to Brooke.
“Bye, Mom! We’ll be back soon!” Cyrene says.
“Don’t go too far, Iniko. You’re getting close to your first shift,” she calls out.
“We’re just going to the mountain,” I call back.
“Go, Kiko, go!” Cyrene says, encouraging me to catch up to Brooke.
I love that Cyrene is nine years old and still calls me Kiko. She’s the only one who does. It’s just like she still calls Cal Calgon. No one cares to correct her because she’s Cyrene.
