A Second Chance For Love
Edward asks, little feet slapping against the hardwood floor behind me.
“Uh, sure. What do you want?”
“Chicken nuggets and mac and cheese and pickles and maybe a cupcake for dessert.”
I laugh. “Well, we can do the mac and cheese for sure.” I grab butter and milk, setting them out the counter. “Pickles too,” I add when I see the jar. I preheat the oven, glad there’s a bag of dinosaur-shaped nuggets in the freezer.
It’s not exactly a home-cooked meal, but the kid’s not going hungry tonight. That has to count for something, right?
