“I think your father was disappointed that we left so early.” Faye fluffs the pillow beside me then climbs into bed. “He wasn't the only one. Emily was having a blast with her cousin. Leave it to kids to have fun at a funeral.”

Our daughter wasn't the only one having fun, I think to myself bitterly.

“Well what could we do? I felt sick.”

She places a loving hand on my stomach, rubs it. “Poor baby. Luckily you have the whole weekend to fight off whatever bug you might be coming down with. And I'm going to take care of you.”

Under normal circumstances these words and her kindness would warm my heart; but they only make me feel awful about myself. I don't want her to be nice to me.

“I'll be fine, Faye. I don't need babysitting.” I lift her hand off my stomach, but kiss her on the cheek so that it doesn't seem too abrasive. “Goodnight.”

I know her eyes are on me when I turn my back to her and settle down for the night, but she doesn't speak. I'll have to pull myself together before she notices that something's amiss. Because something is amiss. Angel has only been back in my life for a few weeks, and I'm already changing beyond recognition.
