WHEN THEY FALL
“I’m sorry, I just have some work things. I’ll see you later okay, be a good boy and listen to Mrs Williams, eat dinner. Don’t forget to brush your teeth before sleeping.”
“Okay mommy, can I also watch Ninjago?” he asked, giving me puppy eyes.
I stood up from the squatting position and said, “Only for an hour.”
“Thank you, mommy, I love you.” He said, hugging me.
“Okay, bye, be a good boy.” I said as I pulled from the embrace and headed out of the door.
At quarter to seven, I arrived at my father's house. Fifteen minutes was all I had. I passed the threshold without even knocking. I used to live here, after all.
