Won’t be home by seven. Kiss Jaime goodbye for me.

Emily made a quick decision. She found Chris’s phone number and typed it into her phone.

“Hello?”

“Hi, this is Emily Walker, Jaime’s nanny.”

“Oh right. Emily. Hi. Is everything all right?”

“Everything’s fine,” Emily assured him. “I was wondering if you’d mind picking Jaime up from Camila’s office instead of the apartment.”

“Oh. Uh, yeah, all right.”

“Thanks. See you later.” She hung up before he had a chance to say anything else. Then turning back to Jaime, said, “You wanna go visit your mom?”

“Okay!”

Emily threw a few more things into Jaime’s travel bag and double checked that his favorite teddy and blanket were in there.

She called Camila’s driver to pick them up to save time, and they were in the CEBC elevator before the clock hit six thirty.

“I hope your mom doesn’t hate this surprise,” Emily muttered as they stepped out of the elevator.

Jessica intercepted them, her creased forehead relaxing. “Oh, thank God you’re here,” she said, wrapping her hand around Emily’s arm She lowered her voice. “She’s been on the warpath all day, and when she found out she wouldn’t be home early, it was…not pretty.”

“Well, maybe we can fix that.” Emily glanced toward Camila’s office. She sat at her desk, frowning at her monitor, her glasses perched on her nose and fingers pressed to her temples. “Are we all right to go in?”

“Please.”

Emily tapped on the door before cracking it open.

“I thought I was clear that I didn’t want to be disturbed.” Camila’s voice crackled with fury, her eyes never leaving the monitor. In that moment she wasn’t the woman Emily had come to know. She wasn’t even Jaime’s mother. She was Camila freaking Evans, the woman Emily had met at her interview, and it stopped her in her tracks.

“Um…”

Camila’s head snapped up so fast, her glasses slipped off her nose and fell onto the desk. “Emily?” Camila blinked. “What on earth are you doing here?”

“I knew you’d wanna say goodbye to this little guy.” She let go of Jaime’s hand, and he trotted over to Camila, raising his arms to be picked up. “So I thought I’d bring him by. I called Chris to ask him to come here.”

“You…you did? I…I don’t know what to say. Thank you. And I’m sorry I snapped at you.”

“It’s all right.” Emily dropped Jaime’s bag beside the couch.

She slipped out onto the balcony so Jaime could tell his mom about his day. The lights of the city were impressive at night. When Camila’s phone rang a few minutes later, Jaime came out to join her, returning inside when they heard Camila complete the call.

Chris arrived right at seven. Camila stood up, waving him inside.

He greeted his ex-wife, nodded at Emily, then turned to Jaime, sitting next to Emily. “Hey, big guy. You ready to go?”

Jaime shook his head vigorously, and Emily wondered if there was a tantrum brewing.

“It’s all right, sweetheart.” Camila scooped Jaime into a hug. “You’re going to have a nice weekend with your daddy.
