Chapter 12
I changed Caradonna rules around children.
No discussion of succession before adulthood.
No using pregnancies in alliance conversations.
No introducing infants as future anything.
No assumption that a boss’s spouse controlled access to his children.

“What if something happens to you?”
“Then adults solve an adult problem.”
“And the boy?”
“He’ll probably be busy learning colors.”
Rafe laughed.
Good.

I started appreciating uncertainty.
It protected children better than predetermined futures did.
