“We’ll figure out somewhere for you tostay.”
Oh, no no no. “Vic—”
“Heather. I don’t know if anyone’s told you this, but there are a lot of Adamos. You have a baby, and you’re pretty cute yourself. My family’s gonna be lining up for the chance to have you stay withthem.”
The cute comment gets him a look, and he holds up his hands. “I’m a happily engaged man. I’m just saying, all the nonnas are gonna think you’re as adorable as your girlhere.”
“Nonna?” Sophie queries.
He grins. “That’s right, sweetheart. Nonna. That means grandmother.”
“Nonna.”
“Good girl. Can you say linguini?”
She waves her hands, excited by another new word. “Weenie.”
“There you go. You’re half Italian already.” He gives me a wink. “Stay here, relax, eat. We’ll get it all sortedout.”
Only when he’s gone does the enormity of my situation hit me. I can’t work without daycare, and I can’t just hand my daughter over to strangers. But I have to do something or I’ll be strandedhere.
I’m still wracking my brain for alternatives when Sophie says, “Tontay!”
