“Can’t I go home with Dad and my brothers?”
Em seethed, but she kept her features calm. “We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Roger placed a finger over his lips as he glanced around. “I told him to.”
Appalled, Em stood motionless. “You told him? How can you play with my child’s emotions that way?”
“Em, listen,” Roger said as he grasped her arms above her elbows. “He knows it’s just for today.”
“You have no idea what you’ve started.”
