Build You Up
“Miss Missy said she liked suckers last week at dinner. Remember? When we went for our walk in the woods, she told me her favorite candy was suckers, because you can eat it and do other things at the same time.”
After telling me this, she makes a horrified face then places her small hand over her mouth, looking worriedly at Monica. I almost wanted to laugh at her comical expression.
“It’s okay. I know about Missy,” Monica tells her, smiling slightly, but I could see in her eyes that hearing Hailey say she wanted to buy the candy for another woman really bothered her.
Hailey blows out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Right, daddy? Missy is fun. Maybe mommy and Missy can be friends?”
