Jesse shook his head. “This is what you do in your spare time?”
“Every moment I can find.”
In his world, his old world, the women he’d hung around used their spare time to party. Suddenly, something he’d not felt in a long time rose up in him, a longing for the type of life he’d only seen on the Hallmark Channel.

“Messing up,” he echoed. “Is that why I need to talk to her?”
Eva looked at him, her cheeks coloring.
“No, of course not. Elise deals with a lot of little kids who’ve had tough times. School starts next month. We need to find out if he can talk.”
Jesse noticed two things then. One, though Timmy was asleep under the table again, he wasn’t sucking his thumb. Two, Eva had said we.
