The Price of His Redemption

“I call it insurance that she’s not going to sneak out and go to the Beyoncé concert anyway, because she’s like a little escape artist. I swear, I’m going to have to put bars on her window.”


“That’s why you shouldn’t bribe her. She needs consequences, not concert tickets.”


“You should write a book, Michelle. Meanwhile, I’m doing the best that I can here, okay? I never asked to be somebody’s father figure.”


“I’m just saying that she needs boundaries.”


“She has boundaries. I told her she couldn’t go to a concert without supervision. I threatened to put bars on her window. She doesn’t quite run this house yet.”


Jesse blinked. “For what? Asking if she could go?”


“For talking back to me. She’s got a smart mouth.”


“Oh, for Christ’s sake. Are you all right?”
