Chapter 8 A Good Man

• Nate was indeed a very busy man. But he made it a point to drive Elisha and I to school every day —at least for three days straight already. And it should have been a good thing. But I am hurt every time I see how happy Elisha was with Nate's company.
• How did that happen? I never mentioned the word daddy to her, so she wouldn't look for one. And Elisha never asked me about her father. I thought I had succeeded in erasing anything that would connect her to her real parents, to Nate in particular.
• But here we are, it's only been a little over a week since Nate came into Elisha's life and yet it seemed like they'd already known each other forever.
