“My family wants to find a new mother for Molly and Martha.” His voice was thick with resentment. “They seem to think I’m in over my head.”
“Oh, I’m sure they don’t. Your girls are great. They’re happy. Anyone can see they’re well cared for.”
“So, how about it? You come to my sister’s birthday party, I’ll go to your family barbecue, and we’ll call it even.”
