Her Last Gift

Morgan waved her hand. “Enough. Stop being an eyesore.
“Go wash up. Do not let that poverty of yours touch my son.”
I lowered my head and stepped back as if released from a sentence.
As I walked toward the bathroom, I heard Morgan say behind me, “Daniel, these playthings are fine for amusement, but Ms. Weston is back for her break. You should meet her.”
