“Ice cream?” Adley’s eyes light up.
Palmer nods.
“Theresa brought cake for dessert, but Adley and I ate all mine yesterday.”
Palmer digs into her freezer and pulls out a new container. Adley is addicted to ice cream and likes to make her own sundaes. “Here you go.”
“Thanks.”
“I want cake!” Adley grins at me.
Is Matt over there? Palmer glances out her kitchen window.
“I want cake!” Adley says again—to Palmer this time.
Ask Daddy, if he says yes then…
I give Palmer the evil eye because she’s backed me into a corner, and she knows it. Theresa and I are already not on the same page tonight. Bringing Palmer over won’t help anything, but I’m not going to just bring Adley over—it feels rude.
We’ll be quick.
“Yes. Quick like bunnies.” Adley and Palmer both put on their best smiles.
“Fine. Let’s go. But cake, and then it’s your bedtime. Got it?”
Adley nods. “Got it.”
We put on Adley’s coat, and I walk with them over to my house. I can’t wait to see Theresa’s reaction. Hopefully this doesn’t make things even worse, but I suspect I already know the answer to that.
