The Right Thing
““Guess what I saw on the way back from the doctor’s today,” Morgan asked, smoothly fabricating enough story details to keep his father unaware of his spying.
“Okay. I’ll play along. What did you see Morgan?” Gerald asked, resting his hands on the kitchen table, which was about the only surface left in the house not covered with construction dust from Morgan’s projects.
“I saw you kissing a woman,” Morgan said with a grin.
“Which one?” Gerald asked, grinning back.
“Which one? How many are there?...” Morgan asked, laughing and pretending to be shocked. It was fun to see the smirky, proud smile on his father’s face.
“What did she look like, smartass?” Gerald demanded. “I kiss at least three or four women every day.”
“Three or four?” Morgan repeated, truly surprised at that piece of information.
He had counted two today. Had he actually missed some? Oh, the closed door of hospital room. That would be three, but where was the fourth?
