Bitter Love
Adam comes running back into the hall with Rory right behind him.
“Sorry,” she says when Adam crashes right into Josie.
“It’s all right.” Josie bends over and picks Adam back up, putting him back on his feet. “Gosh, it’s been so long since my daughter was this small.”
“How old is your daughter?” Rory asks, scooping up Adam, who immediately fusses. He reaches for me and stops fussing as soon as he’s back in my arms.
“She’s fourteen,” Josie answers.
“Oh, yeah, it has been a while since she was little then.” Rory looks at me and then back at Josie. “I’m Rory, Jacob’s sister.”
