Because it is

I just want to make sure he had a good first day at his new school

You know, you could just ask him

And what if he doesn’t tell me?

I think you’re worrying for no reason

What if our kid doesn’t tell you anything when you ask how their day at school was?

That will never happen

Our kid will always tell their mother how their day was

Until they’re a moody teenager

Stop trying to make me worry about something that won’t happen for more than a decade

Now you know why I’m trying to get insider scoop on how his day went

You’re incorrigible

I’ll make it worth your while

Ugh

I really shouldn’t encourage this

But it’s really hard to resist you

That was my plan all along >

Go teach your soccer game

Seriously?

It’s a good thing you like me

I don’t know why….it’s baseball, Cowgirl

>

I may need to see you in some baseball pants to confirm

This whole conversation has gotten off track

Your fault

Go learn things about my kid

And teach him how to ride a horse

One of these days I’ll get you on a horse

Locking my phone, I put it away in my desk drawer and head out to meet Luke. Since Kade started an afterschool program at the ranch, I know Luke is grabbing the bus out here.

I’m anxious to spend some more one-on-one time with him. I like Grant—a lot—and I want Luke to like me too.
