Backup Plan
Chloe asks, untying the laces of her boots.
“Right.”
“How are your parents?”
“Good. Mom still does alterations here and there, mostly for wedding dresses, and my dad is still working, saying he’s going to retire every year but can’t take the plunge. But they’re good. How’s your dad?”
“Same. Working but happy. He has a girlfriend.”
“Is that, uh, good?” Chloe would want her father to be happy, but it could be hard seeing him with someone after her mom died.
“Yeah. I really like Wendy. She lost her husband, so they connected over being widowed, which sounds so morbid, but I guess it’s nice to have someone who understands, ya know? They’re both really happy.”
