Maria took a peppermint. I shook my head. If you take candy from someone, it means you trust them.

After Mom introduced me to David, Mr. Vaslov introduced himself.

“I’m not Rosa’s father,” he told David. “But she feels like a daughter to me.”

Did that mean Mr. Vaslov cared for me like a grandson? Maybe I didn’t have to worry about being replaced by a robot after all.

“You want to make sure I’m not a bad guy,” David answered.

Wow! How did he know what I was thinking?

When they finished their candy, Maria and Gio went home to their own apartment for dinner. Mr. Vaslov stayed to eat with us.

For a while, it was great. Mr. Vaslov talked to David so I didn’t have to.

“What are your hobbies, David?”

“Photography,” he said. “I like cameras and taking pictures.”

“Really?” Mr. Vaslov’s eyes widened behind his glasses.

That started a conversation on lenses, light sensors, and other electronic stuff.

I didn’t have to say a thing until David looked right at me.

“What do you like to do, Freddie?”

That was a hard question. My favorite thing was zooming around in my super-powered zapatos. After that, I liked using my super bounce and super hearing. How could I talk about that? Only Mr. Vaslov knew I had superpowers, because he invented them.

“Freddie?” Mom prodded me. “David asked you something.”

“Uh.” I stared down at my lasagna. “I don’t know.”
