“Ha. You don't even know what that word means.”
I heard the front door chime. “They must be back.”
“Oh, I can't wait to meet this Charlotte woman whom you're going to destroy.”
“Shut the fuck up.” I smacked his arm.
We walked out of my office and into the living room.
“Hi, sweetheart.” I smiled.
“Hi, Dad.” Eloise hugged me.
“Did you have fun at the park?”
“Yeah. We had a good time. Hi, Uncle Charlie.”
“She was great.” Charlotte smiled.
“Hi, honey.” Charlie hugged Eloise.
“Charlotte, I'd like you to meet my best friend and colleague, Charlie Parsons. Charlie, this is Charlotte.”

“And I like her. She's a cool kid.”
“I would like to offer you a job as her nanny.”
“Excuse me?” My eyes widened. “Her nanny?”
