We were there this afternoon; she dragged me straight to the Lego store. I’m happy to reportmy spawn is already hard at work, building her new set.

Dex:

What set is she working on?

Margot:

It’s an apartment building—it’s pastel rainbow colored. Pretty cute, actually. Hopefully she doesn’t finish it too quickly, those things are hella expensive. I can’t be buying new sets every few days.

Dex:

Apparently so

Dex:

What did you tell your parents when you got back to the table? That’s who you were with, yeah?

Margot:

Yes. We were with my folks—Wyatt had already filled them in on the excitement by the time I sat back down. That child loves to be the bearer of the tea.

Dex:

That sounds accurate. She was more than willing to jump into the fray when she saw me loitering outside the men’s bathroom. Hasn’t your kid ever heard of stranger danger?

Margot:

Yes. But apparently we have more work to do becauseLord, she didn’t hesitate to meddle in your business.

Dex:

She’s freakishly good at lying.

Margot:

That’s terrifying.

Dex:

Good luck with that . . .

Margot:

Ha ha. Thanks

Dex:

Where’s her dad at?

Margot:

He’s in the picture he just travels a lot for work.

Dex:

What’s “a lot?”

Margot:
