Оглавление“I was hoping to talk to you about Corey,” Beth said.
“Everything okay?” Nick asked.
“I’m not sure. Corey’s afraid you’ll send him back to his grandparents if he doesn’t read well.”
The woman didn’t beat around the bush. “Where would he get that idea?”
Beth shrugged. “Your son told me in confidence, but I thought you should know because he’s stressing about reading.”
Nick nodded, but his gut felt like it’d been shredded. He’d left Corey behind before so it only stood to reason that his son didn’t trust him not to do it again.
“You okay?” Beth’s voice was soft.
His little guy had so much riding on those seven-year-old shoulders.
“I think Corey wanted you to come today because he’s not easy around me anymore,” Nick said. “He thinks I’ll leave him. I don’t know what to do about it.”
“Maybe what you need is something fun to do together. Find some interests in common.”
Right now, that interest was Beth Ryken. Corey liked her, and so did Nick.
Maybe too much.
