Or as well as she possibly could have. Mike hadn’t guessed she was upset. Neither of the kids sensed anything was wrong…although Molly was still sneaking questions at bedtime. “I think you’re going to be a prosecuting attorney when you grow up,” Amanda said as she snuggled Molly in fresh sheets and her favorite doll of the week. “I don’t know what a prosecutor attorney is.” “It means someone who’s really good at asking questions. And at finding ways to get the answers they want.” She bent over to kiss Molly good-night. “Did you have a good time next door?” “I told you that already. I had a great time. I didn’t scream about the worms. I just ignored Teddy when he was being awful that way. And I helped Mr. Mike in a whole lot of ways.” “You did, huh?” “He thinks I’m smart.” “Everybody thinks you’re smart. Because you are.” “I know. But he listens to me. Like I wasn’t a little kid. Like I was somebody you want to listen to.” “Well, that’s really good.”
