I hadn’t expected Jared to show up out of nowhere. The words were already out, and there was no way to take them back.

Jared sat down beside us and asked, “Mom, what are you and Victoria chatting about this time?”

Sally said with a stern look, “We’re talking about Yvonne’s custody. Jared, are you thinking of letting Victoria have Yvonne? Don’t be such a pushover. I know you care about her, but you can’t just give in every time.”

Jared looked a little surprised. He turned to me and asked, “So, you want custody of Yvonne?”

I shook my head and replied, “No, I don’t want custody. She belongs with the Holcomb family.”

“If you don’t want her, then why has she been coming to see you every single day? What have you been teaching her as her mother?” Sally snapped.

Jared frowned and said, “Mom, I was the one who asked Yvonne to visit Victoria. This isn’t Victoria’s fault. Yvonne’s been upset ever since she found out about our divorce.”

“It’s pitiful for a child to have such a cold–hearted mother,” Sally said, her eyes turning red as she started to feel sorry for Yvonne.

Jared shot me a resentful look as if complaining that I was completely heartless.

I took a deep breath. Yvonne’s recent changes threw me for a loop, but I’d already made up my mind not to meddle in her life anymore.
