Book Excerpt
“Her father, Kyle Jacobs, may pick her up sometimes. And possibly her aunt, Marcy Schaefer.” Kelly pulled up the contacts on her phone and jotted down their numbers.
“If anyone else needs to fill in, you or her father will need to notify us ahead of time.”
“Understood.”
The woman gave her a copy of the paperwork, which Kelly crammed into her large everyday canvas purse. She thanked her, then hugged Alana tightly. The sweet, un- mistakable bubblegum scent of her body wash lingered.
“I’ll be back at three. Or your daddy will pick you up at five if I can’t make it.”
“Love you, Mommy.”
“Love you, sweetie.”
Kelly waved as a worker introduced Alana to the other six-year-olds. Then she strode out to the parking lot and climbed into her car. Letting out a loud sigh, she rested her head on the steering wheel.
What had she been thinking, uprooting her life to move to Chandler, Arizona? It certainly seemed to make sense when Kyle suggested it a few weeks ago during a visit with Alana.
Yeah, that whole thing still felt weird. Her baby’s daddy, Kyle, had finally stepped up to be a father about a year ago after he found Jesus.
