Chapter 80

Jesse got a text from Renee saying she was going to be home late. He really wasn’t liking this new freedom she had. He knew he had to get used to it, but it was hard. Would she really come home? He had to do something to get his mind off of it. He’d cook. He hadn’t done that in a while since Renee always took care of it. She had Christian with her so she could run, but would she? He sighed and took everything out. Maybe if he cooked dinner for Renee he would score more brownie points with her.

Jesse heard the door open as he was finishing dinner and Renee called out that they were home. He called out that he was in the kitchen. Christian came running in and hugged his legs.

“Daddy!” Christian yelled.

“Hey, bud! How was your first day at school?”

“It was great! Mommy picked me up and we went for a long ride,” Christian said as Jesse picked him up.

“You did? Where did you go?”

“It was a big place. Mommy got a funny look on her face when she saw it.”
