“Exactly. You’re loved, Dominic. There are worse things than your kids being so obsessed with you that they want to know where you are at all times,” Kate points out.

Before I can think otherwise, I blurt out, “Will you ever want to stalk me?”

Kate gives me a coy smile as she pushes away from my desk and begins bagging up the empty containers. “How do you think I knew you were here?”

I’m left watching her sashay out of my office as I laugh heartily. I see a hitch in Kate’s step as she walks away, and I know why. My laugh even surprised me.

Me: Alright. How many of you get a daily play-by-play of my whereabouts from Sienna?

Mom: I don’t know what you’re talking about, cucciolo.

Luca: You’re an awful liar, Mom.

Isabella: How did you figure it out, Dom? Did Aspen rat her sister out? #Proudaunt

Arianna: Oh, so it’s okay for Aspen to rat out Sienna, but it was awful when I did it to you growing up. I see how it is.

Isabella: Because you were a spiteful little snot.

Gianna: Belly, you ratted me out all the time too. It’s a rite of passage for a younger sibling to tattle on her older sisters. Stop acting all sanctimonious like you never did bad shit.

Mom: Sigh.

Dad: How the hell do I get out of this chat?

Alex: If I have to be here, you have to be here.

Dad has left the group.

Alex: That’s an option?

Alex has left the group.

Luca added Alex to the group.

Alex: GOD DAMMIT LUCA

Luca: Suck it up, Lexy.

Me: Back to the topic. Are you all in a group chat with my daughter?

Hannah: Yes.

Me: Shit, sorry, Han. I didn’t realize you were in here. Does that mean Stone is in here too?

Stone: Unfortunately.

Arianna: Oh shut up. You love these group texts. I find you giggling over them at least once a week.

Gianna: Travis is in here too, but he’s on shift and will undoubtedly see this later and want to divorce me.

Me: What else does Sienna tell you?

Arianna: Other than talking about you getting married, not that much. Wait, was there something else? Hmm.

Oh good God.

Arianna: HOW ABOUT YOU TONGUE FUCKING YOUR NANNY WIFE???
