Chapter 16
Noah eventually asked why we never married.
He was seven.
“Because Victoria and I wanted different kinds of family.”
“What kind?”
“She thought people needed fixed places.”
He frowned.
“Like seats?”
I smiled.
“Exactly.”
He remembered more than I wished.
“She took mine.”
“Yes.”
“Sophie gave it back later.”
I had not known that.
Apparently after the engagement ended, Sophie carried Noah’s little chair from storage herself.
Put it beside his play table.
No announcement.
