The Nanny Affair
“Was that a child?”
I froze.
“Tell me you did not give birth without informing me,” she shrieked.
I burst out laughing. “Eve, think.”
“Italy changes people!”
“You saw me at your anniversary party three months ago,” I said between laughter. “Unless I discovered time travel, that’s impossible.”
“…Right,” she muttered. “I didn’t think that through.”
“So who’s the kid?” she asked.
“My boss’s daughter,” I said, dropping the vegetables into boiling water. “I got hired as a nanny.”
