SIR
“Sometimes grown-ups need a minute to think before they say things. And right now, I needed a minute.”
She thinks about it. “Is Mr. David a bad guy?”
I hesitate. “No, baby. He’s not a bad guy. He’s just… someone Mommy used to know. A long time ago.”
She nods like that makes sense. “Okay. Can I have mac and cheese now?”
I laugh, the sound shaky. “Fine. Mac and cheese coming right up.”
But as I stand and move to my desk to call Priya, I can still feel David’s eyes on me.
