The sound of the door opening startles us both, and when Caden's eyes go behind me, he hides the gun right away.
"Daddy!" Lia's voice is not excited. It's as angry as this little spitfire can get. A lot. Her furious steps run toward me, and she pulls at the hem of my shirt even though I'm already turning around.
"You said Mommy is with Nanna!" She puts her little fists on her hips like Kay does when she's angry at me. "Livie says she's with the men!"
"Livie talked?" I ask, shock lowering my voice.
"Livie no talk," she answers like I'm stupid. "I understand Livie. And she says Mommy is with the men in the white car with the horse. You lied, Daddy. That's bad. Mommy said lying is bad. You lied."
"The white car with the horse?" I repeat. I fall to my knees, taking my daughter's hands. "Is that what Livie saw? Did she say Mommy was in that car?"
"Yes," she insists, her face pinches as she shows me how mad she is at me.
