“Thank you, sweetheart. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure about all this at first. But… I feel good.
Clarissa might’ve had a heavy hand in pushing me toward this, but I think I needed the nudge. I’d been wearing the same clothes since your father passed away.”

She had no right to touch your things. I mean, if I had been paying more attention, none of this would have happened.”
“It all happened for a reason, son,” I said. “And look, it worked out for the best.
Clarissa has a career now!”
“I know, I know. Now, come on, let’s go out to eat. You look too good to stay home.”
“As long as you’re buying,” I laughed.
