Alistair tiptoed out of bed and went to his old room to freshen up.

Eloise nodded understandingly. "Yes, Mommy works so hard. I hope she comes home early today. I want to give her a back massage."

"Good girl."

Alistair stared at Eloise's hair, a wild mess from her sleep, and couldn't decide what to do.

He could handle laundry, cooking, housework, and taking the child to and from school without any problem, but he had never
