Luis wanted to talk about two things that night, and he knew both topics had the potential to lift Jase’s eyebrows So he decided to start with the lighter of the two subjects and brace for Jase’s reaction “I’ve been thinking about hiring a live-in nanny for Hunter At first I didn’t want to do that I wanted to spend all one it’s been hard to juggle work and Hunter at the same time When she was here with us full time I always knew there was a backup babysitter I could trust But now there’s no one And we never go out anyer When ent out to dinner alone in Alaska this past weekend and your parents watched Hunter, it was the first tiether since September”

“It won’t be easy to find someone,” Jase said His eyes were still focused on the TV and his tone reency and hope for the best I’ve heard so nannies and I don’t want to take any chances”

“I know,” Luis said He fully agreed; he kneouldn’t be easy to find the perfect nanny for Hunter “I was thinking I’d start asking around and take it slowly But I do think it’s a good idea, especially for Hunter’s sake He’s so attached toone of those creepy, clinging kids” Last September, he’d enrolled Hunter in preschool in New York, three half days a week

Luis’s head went up and he smiled “You do?”

Jase nodded “But I think it should be so to help out around the house Sort of like a live-in nanny-housekeeper”

“I’ you’d say that”

“Why are you relieved?”

Luis shrugged and ran his fingertips up and down Jase’s thigh “I feel a little guilty about hiring a nanny I wanted to do it all alone”

“Hey,” Jase said, “You work hard and you have a rough schedule So do I So doparents all over the country They do what they think is best
