“Keep calling me daddy, Caprice,” while he was scratching his privates. He must’ve been itchy or something. “Keep calling me daddy. Say it. Call me daddy. Say daddy.”

i knew what to expect when i started this but whew i don't think i was ready

She squinted. “Alabama?”

this just made me so happy!!!!

“Tell the truth, Caprice. Say he never touched you.”

SMH, Gracie made me proud one time and has been disappointing me ever since

He leaned over the car’s center console, pressing a kiss onto my cheek before whispering, “I told you those old shoes wouldn’t make it to this Friday.”

looooove Shaun

“She’s either leaving with me quietly, or I can turn in every bit of evidence I have on this family.

YESSSS!!! Ms.Kelly standing on business

So, he’s re-proposing, and I’m setting it up.”

this better not be Shaun

That is, until I realized I needed to have a kid.

not he proposed just to give his mom grandkids

“Because ain’t nothin’ happen to Kahfi. He got to sit everything out. He watched it all from above. He didn’t feel anything. He went to sleep.”

poor Moreno

That sorry excuse for a phone call had me aggravated for the remainder of my night.

Caprice done pissed me of too Shaun

Of course, I anticipated the waterworks, so I already had a small pack of tissues in my pocket.

when i tell you i just love Shaun

I might’ve been imagining this, but when I told Shaun I was already on the pill, he almost seemed disappointed… Like he had been trying to get me pregnant.

nope, not imagining this

Caprice was also the daughter of my mother’s childhood best friend, Alice Latimore.

love this. such a full circle moment

pain is unavoidable, and you’d live a very meaningless life trying to avoid it.
