I ended the call and just sat there. My daughter had been pretending to go to school all week… so where had she actually been?
When Emily came home that afternoon, I was waiting.
“How was school, Em?” I asked casually.
“The usual,” she said. “I got a whole ton of math homework, and History is so boring.”
“And what about your friends?”
She stiffened.
“Em?”
Emily rolled her eyes and groaned. “What is this? The Spanish Inquisition?”
