“I understand,” Nicole sighed. “I know this isn’t that big of a deal, but I just can’t stop myself from worrying.”

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Nolan asked, frowning.

He was standing there, wondering why Nicole was so anxious and worried about Jared.

Snapping out of it, Nicole turned to Nolan and ruffled his hair. “There’s a project in your father’s company that’s being held back by some difficulties, and we’re trying to find a way out of it. My point is: now’s not the best time for your dad to make an appearance in public.”
