While Emma works almost nonstop to turn Queen of Hearts into an obsessively immersive, heart-pounding adrenaline rush of a game, I run warm baths for her, make her some hot home-cooked meals, and tuck her into the bonus room’s feather bed when she’s too tired to keep her eyes open.

I also bake like a fiend: chunky chocolate chip cookies, butterscotch brownies, and my chocolate-filled cronuts.

Mary and Trisha are fascinated to hear she’s working on a new online game aimed at women. When they show up in the bonus room with a plate of the homemade chunky chocolate chip cookies they made themselves, Emma is so touched that she shows them how the game works.

“Can you teach me to code a game?” Mary asks hopefully.

“After this assignment, sure, I’m all yours,” Emma promises.

As they leave her to continue her work, she murmurs to me, “I’ll never be as great a mom as you.”

“Yes, you will,” I assure her. “Kids are intuitive. They can sense when someone they respect is hard at work and needs some space—not to mention a little tender loving care.”

Emma nods. I’m sure it’s imagining what random acts of love her own child will show her—not a sugar rush—that puts the smile on her face.
