Nursing the Murderer Alpha King
Dante, me, and Daxton forming this strange little unit that everyone assumes belongs together.
Daxton’s between us again, holding both our hands, practically skipping. He’s been in that Spider-Man costume for hours now, and I can see him tugging at the collar every few steps.
“You look overheated,” Dante observes. “You might want to remove the costume.”
My entire body goes rigid.
Daxton tilts his masked head up. “I am kinda sweaty. Can I take it off, Mommy?”
“NO!”
The word comes out way too loud, way too sharp. Several parents turn to look. Daxton actually flinches.
