“I’m also working. I’m caring for two babies.”
Brandon sighed. “I’m done for the day.”
I nearly laughed. I had slept in forty-minute stretches the night before, yet he believed his responsibilities ended when he walked through the door.
That was when I noticed the green duffel bag beside the entrance.
“Why is your bag packed?”
He avoided my eyes.
“Simon and Theo are picking me up. We’re going fishing.”
“Tonight?”
“For four days.”
I stared at him. He had planned an entire vacation without mentioning it.
“I need a break,” he said.
“So do I.”
“You get to stay home.”
I tightened my hold on Lila.
“Did you arrange for anyone to help me?”
“You’ve handled the girls before.”
“Not alone for four days.”
“They’re babies. Feed them, change them, and put them to sleep.”
“Then stay tonight and show me how easy it is.”
