Chapter Fifteen

Kenneth

I spent the next week frantically trying to interview and vet potential Nannies, while trying to covertly check on how Jessica is doing without annoying her.

Neither seems to work out very well.

It’s far too short a time frame for me to feel comfortable leaving Abbie with someone for so long without me being there. And that’s even if I were to compromise and go for someone who I wasn’t entirely convinced about, something I told myself I’d never do.

I ask Kara whether she’s got any friends who might be able to help out and when she doesn’t, even go as far as to offer to cover the first few months’ of her rent in Jefferson City if they’ll just delay these viewings to another week. This whole thing has stopped being about finding a way to keep Abbie happy despite breaking my promise I won’t go away again - and instead, trying to find anyone who might be able to look after her.

Kara can see how desperate I’m getting, but she reluctantly turns down the offer anyway. Apparently, her dropping everything to cover for me has been a source of strain between her and Jason for a while now and that isn’t how she wants the start of their new life together to begin. Another thing I never knew.

I ask Martha too, even though I know she’s out of state again, but her daughter is heavily pregnant and she doesn’t want to miss the big moment. I know my suggestion of putting them all up in a luxury apartment nearby is ridiculous even as I say it, but I can’t help myself, right now it looks like I have no options at all - and I feel like with all the resources and finances at my disposal I should be able to do something.

But I can’t. All the money in the world is no good when what I need are people.

People I’ve been damned bad at making connections with and encouraging into our life, it seems.

Money can’t buy everything. It can’t fix everything. I’ve known that all along, but sometimes I swear I feel this should all be easier somehow.

I’ve worked hard. I’m successful. Why are such seemingly simple things still so hard?

I even call my parents, asking if there’s any way that they can come visit from California for the week, despite Abbie not really knowing them enough to be comfortable around them. I trust them, at least, and that’s more than any other option I’ve got.

But no, my sister is in the middle of another breakdown of some kind, and they’ve got their hands full with the three kids running riot. I offer for them to all come and stay as well, even though I have no idea how Abbie would handle the three loud, sometimes-violent boys invading her quiet life, but my Mom thinks the move might destabilize things further.

‘Why don’t you hire someone to help you out, Kenneth? You’ll be fine, sweetie, you always have been.
