Chapter 28

“You should finish up whatever you’re working on tonight.”

“Especially if Colette isn’t around to bug me.” As Adam turned to leave, Scott shot one last smile over his shoulder. “I might even be done by the time you get back. We can have some quiet time with Sasha then.”

“And by quiet time, you mean the opposite of quiet, right?”

His smile widened. “It’s quiet if we gag Sasha.”

“You do owe her one for the other night. I’ll be back soon. I’m not going to let Ida trap me into watching TV, or reading to her, or helping with cookies, or any other craziness.” Adam stepped out of living room and shut the door behind him. Pausing at the foot of the stairs, he shouted up to Colette’s room, “Hey, you! Are you ready to go to your Gram’s?”

Running footsteps pounded overhead, followed by Colette rushing down and past him in a blur. “Bye, Dad! See you tomorrow!” She didn’t wait for a response as the back door slammed shut behind her.
