M A D D I E
If I wasn’t already convinced that there was a deity somewhere
that hated my guts, the sight of Cage Burke’s menacing glower
convinced me of it.
Of all the places.
Of all the times.
Of all the people.
Fucking Cage Burke was my new boss.
I mean, I suppose I should have known something like that would
happen that day. The day had already been a shitshow from the start. I woke
up to discover my alarm clock had been mysteriously unplugged in the
middle of the night, and I had slept in for almost a whole hour. Of course, it
wasn’t really a mystery. I knew the deed had been done by a precocious
little 3-year-old, determined to thwart my plans of starting her at preschool
that morning. It was confirmed when I finally jumped out of bed to find her
in the living room, watching cartoons and blinking her big blue eyes at me.
“It’s late, mommy,” she said with her voice that could melt ice. “You
slept in.”
“I know I slept in.” I walked to her, hands crossed over my chest, trying
out my best stern face. “Care to explain why?”
A mischievous smile quirked her lips, but she shook her head.
“Uh-huh, right.” I tried not to smile back at her. I really needed to up
my “strict parent” game because she was clearly going to be a menace in
the future. But she was just so adorable. It was difficult to get mad at her for
anything, really. “Ok, up. Come on, move your butt. It’s time to get ready
for preschool.”
“But it’s late, mommy,” Ela protested as I shuffled her towards the
bathroom. “I can’t start preschool when it’s late.”
“Sure, you can.” With an efficiency borne out of experience, I got her
undressed and in the tub in five seconds flat. “We’ll just tell them that
someone accidentally turned off mommy’s alarm so mommy couldn’t wake
up on time and she wouldn’t have to go to preschool.”
“But I don’t want to, mommy,” she whined as I scrubbed. “I don’t want
to go to school. Why can’t I just stay here with you?”
I couldn’t help but smile then. I wrapped a towel around her and
scooped her up. “Because mommy has to work, and you have to go make
new friends.”
And then, as we completed the rest of the morning ritual at a record
pace of about six minutes, Ela made her case as to why she didn’t need new
friends and why she could just stay at home by herself till I got back.
Apparently, because she was three, she was no longer a baby and could stay
home alone. It was a compelling argument—one that went on even as I
dropped her off. Luckily, the front desk lady understood the tardiness and
even winked after I’d explained the situation. I’d hoped my new bosses at
the hospital would too.
