EXCERPT
“It is very nice to meet you, Blair. I hope this
little tyke hasn’t been too much trouble.” And then he smiled and I had to sit
down.
“Uh, no. Not at all. He’s been a perfect,” I choked
on my own air, “a perfect gentleman.” I wasn’t going to snitch on him for being
disrespectful, but I was sure Ada would get right on that. Out of the corner of
my eye I could see her pursing her lips. For a nanny, she didn’t seem as if she
liked kids very much.
“See, Daddy? I was good.” I didn’t think Drake could
grasp what a wink meant yet, or else I would have totally shared one with him.
I wanted to know if “Daddy” had a name, but it seemed
awkward to ask.
“Drake and I were just filling out paperwork so he
can get his very own library card.” I glanced down and saw Ada had filled out
all the information but had neglected to sign the form. “I just need an adult’s
signature to get the card made.” I handed him the clipboard and a pen, hoping
the expression on my face was neutral. Score. Now I could see what his first
name was.
“Well now, your very own library card. Are you going
to take very good care of it and not lose it? Only very special children get to
have library cards,” Drake’s father said.
“I take good care of it, Daddy. I’s promise,” Drake
said holding up his pinky. His father leaned down and linked his pinky with his
son’s, pulling Drake’s hand up to his mouth to kiss it. Then Drake did the same
thing with his father’s hand. My heart turned into liquid and I had to look
away to wipe my suddenly watering eyes because I couldn’t deal with how sweet
it was.
I turned and Ada caught me again with her judgey
eyes.
“Okay, I’m going to go get
this card made, alright, Drake?”
