“Of course your Dad will protect you,” I tell Violet. What else can I say? Little girls should expect their fathers to defend them. I will simply have to have a proper talk with Garnar, then everything will be fine. “Why don’t I make dinner,” I say. “What are we having?” Iris asks. And for a whi
For the rest of the evening, Miles stays with us. His mac and cheese is divine. The girls are in heaven, as this is already their favorite meal. To have it be that much special, helps ease all of our ruffled nerves. Miles does his best to lay on the charm tonight too, making all of us laugh. After

“Esther Owens, is that you?” Paige asks through the phone. “It’s Esther Graham, remember? I’m married to Garnar Graham.” Paige made this same mistake every time I spoke with her. Owens is my maiden name. Paige didn’t know me back before I was married, but her closeness to my father always lends
I duck back around the corner before Miles can notice me. When I heard the Hamilton name, I thought it was a coincidence. Even now, having seen with my own eyes, I couldn’t quite believe my eyes. How can a representative be a call boy? Or… is this all some kind of horrible misunderstanding? God,
