So…” I purse my lips, eyeing the back of his head. “You fell down while you were cleaning a convenience store.” “Yep.” I pull into the parking lot of the Black Bear Diner, but I don’t turn the car off. Theo can wait until I’m done. “You must be really clumsy.” “I’m not!” His small body bristles with indignation. “The wire on the fence was bent; you would have fallen too.” Flopping back in his seat, he glares at his sneakers. I can’t tell if he’s more pissed at me or himself. “I get it. I hate when they put a fence in the middle of the convenience store I’m trying to clean.”
