She'd actually quite liked him before, but now all she felt was resentment.
Anne Sutton excused herself to Chloe Chase and took Ian straight home.
She bought some groceries downstairs from her apartment building and then went up to cook for Ian.
The apartment Anne Sutton rented wasn't large, but it was cozy.
Ian sat on the sofa, looking at Anne Sutton. "Mommy, is this where you live now?"
Anne Sutton nodded.
Ian asked, "So where's my room?"
Anne Sutton glanced at the little guy. "If you want, you can sleep with Mommy tonight! I'll get your room ready later, how does that sound?"
"That would be great!" Ian said. "Don't let them find out I'm here, or they'll come and take me away again. I don't ever want to go back to that house. I want to live with you from now on."
Hearing her son say that made Anne Sutton's heart swell with happiness. "Really?"
"Really," Ian said.
