Thank you for teaching me what a mother’s love is supposed to be . . . and how to make a great pizza. I love you.

This entire situation, the one he was hired to deal with, has been a complete clusterfuck from the start.

I’m keenly aware and no one wants it fixed more than me.

“I’ll just tell them the status hasn’t changed.”

“I could’ve taken care of this,” I bite out.

“I know. I know.”

“And they wouldn’t let me.”

“I. Know.”

“I know
you
know. Try to impart some of that knowledge to
them
. I’m playing by their rules right now, but I’m starting to lose patience with their—”
