I’ve had my eye on this particular girl for a while. I almost had the fantasy of her ruined when she turned up pregnant at nineteen, refusing to confirm who the father of her baby was, which made most people assume it was someone in a high ranking position of power in her life, whether familial, scholarly, or professionally was up in the air for most people.
She was having a hard time shortly after having the baby, a son that she doted on constantly. So I offered to stop in and help her out, “I’m family, let me give you a little break, you’ve been going non-stop for six months on your own,” I said to her.
She was hesitant at first, but soon caved and took me up on my offer. I was great with the kid, I got him laughing and squealing in delight at my antics as his mom watched nervously, “See, he’s fine with me. Two guys just hanging out being bros, right little man?” Tyler squealed and laughed in delight as I bounced him in my arms.
