"I never denied that she was a good kid," I said smiling gently at him. "I just said that you will have your hands full."
I watched the three of them for a moment. Wesley holding Marilee who was reaching her chubby hands out for the cookie that Alicia was handing her. They were there own little family now. And Wes seemed genuinely happy. I suddenly felt very claustrophobic. Let's just say that happy families were never my forte. I had helped Wesley out like I said I would, and I now felt very much the fifth wheel.
"I should go. I just wanted to give you the papers myself. If you have any other questions, just call my office."
I threw my purse strap over my shoulder and twirled my car keys around in my fingers. "See ya around Wes. Bye girls."
With that, I bolted for the door as fast as I could manage. Once I got outside in my car, I rolled the top down. I suddenly needed a lot of fresh air.
