Sean showed up to pick up the kids and mentioned extending their visit.
“Thought I’d keep them a bit longer this time,” he said casually. “A couple of weeks.”
“That’s not what we agreed on.”
“They’re excited. It’ll be fine.”
I shook my head. “What about school?”
“They can miss a little.”
“Where will they be staying?”
“With me.”
“Who else will be there?”
“Cat—”
“And why did you tell them before talking to me?” I added.
That stopped him.
For the first time, he didn’t have an easy answer.
He looked at me differently—like he didn’t recognize me anymore.
“Forget it,” he said finally. “We’ll stick to the usual schedule.”
He backed down.
