“She’s got you wrapped around her finger, doesn’t she?”
“I like to think of the two of us as a team. She decided where to go and what to do, and I make it happen. See? A team effort.” Lucas stood. “If you’ll excuse me for a minute, I need to make a phone call.”
“Yeah. No problem.”
Noah shamelessly listened to Luke’s side of the conversation, hoping Marty would offer to take Lily for the rest of the day, and maybe that night, too. Please. And if she does, what do you think is going to happen?
“No, I understand, Marty. It’s fine…No…No, it’s fine, I promise. Yeah…tomorrow. Thanks.”
Noah quickly turned back to his eggs so Lucas wouldn’t be able to see his disappointment.
“Something came up with Marty,” Lucas said as he returned to the kitchen. “She can’t take Lily to the park today.”
“What?” Lily screeched from the doorway. Lucas blocked her from Noah’s view, but Noah didn’t have to see the child to know she was furious.
