The One Who Made Everyone Late
A boy called Marcus is always the reason his family is late. Every outing, everyone is at the door — shoes on, coats zipped — and they wait. And wait. Marcus is still looking for one sock, or got distracted, or "just needs a minute." His sister groans. His dad's jaw tightens. Marcus knows the look. He hates the look. He doesn't mean to do it.

He doesn't know how to stop being the person who holds everyone up.
