But she was single, had no children, and her fatherâshe thought guiltily about him, but she knew in her heart that she would trade all the trips to Chicago for him to be back with her, back the way he was before he became an invalid. She was doing something different, something she couldn't have done two months ago. Stacy gaped, thought of saying no, and then the delicious, delightful feeling of yes swept over her. “If you have to tell anybody, say you have a business trip,” he said, strolling out the front door. “We'll leave as soon as Karen gets out of school.” “Oh, no, I was thinking of shopping, museums, a nice restaurant⦔ Unless there's things you want to do in Chicago that can't be shared with a child?” I can hardly imagine what could be wrong with that. “And you'll be going as my daughter's baby-sitter.
I have a meeting with him to talk about why I'm behind schedule,” Adam explained. She was mildly relieved that it would be a chaperoned trip.
