Beauty And the Blitz
“Rose held up Mr. Bumpybottom and showed Dad. “Cool!”
“Yes, Rosie. Gnarly.” I patted the bunny and debated tossing it away like a puppy toy. Problem was, Rose was more obedient than a dog—she’d bring him right back.
Cole and I had tested it…and laughed a little too hard.
Dad smiled. He was never good with his granddaughter, but he tried. She toddled to me and hugged my leg before plopping onto the floor with a grunt.
“Cool!”
“She’s getting bigger.” Dad twisted his phone in hi...s hands. Nervous. “That’s my fault. I should have seen her more.”
I wasn’t going to comfort him. “Yeah. You should have.”
His office was busy, but he actually closed the door and silenced his cell so we could talk in peace. Rose played on the floor, singing to herself and the bunny.
