I stood in the doorway, feeling tears fill my eyes.

Dad looked at me.

He understood immediately.

“You were scared, weren’t you?”

I couldn’t lie.

“Yes.”

He was quiet for a moment.

Then he said,

“You did the right thing by checking.”

I looked at him in surprise.

He continued,

“A mother should always make sure her child is safe. I should have explained our game to you sooner.”

Emily opened her eyes.

“Mom, I told you Grandpa urm wasn’t doing anything bad.”

I walked over and kissed her forehead.
