“I’m so sorry I said those things about her. I shouldn’t have…” I trailed off, unsure of what else I should say. “No, you shouldn’t have.” He kissed my shoulder. “But you were right, so thank you. Just don’t do it again.” He tickled me. “And you are gonna feel so bad when you see her because she is so excited to meet you.” I knew he was teasing me but I did feel a little guiltier.
