The truth was, Lexi had a much stronger bond with Paisley than Nora did, but she was still her mother. I was relieved that Lexi didn’t mind that Nora would be here. I knew Paisley was excited, though I wasn’t, because every time she came here, it reminded me of our failed marriage. Of my failure. An old fear resurfaced. What if I couldn’t make things work with Lexi either?
