Daniel hugged her and lifted her off the ground.
“I knew you’d get it. I knew that position was yours.”
I was by the stove flipping pancakes.
“Congratulations, Emily,” I said sincerely, because no matter how tense things were, I didn’t wish her ill.
She barely glanced at me.
“Thanks, mother-in-law,” and she stayed in Daniel’s arms.
“We have to celebrate,” my son said. “In a big way, like my wife deserves.”
“Should we go to the Skyline Grill?” Emily suggested, her eyes sparkling. “The one I told you about with the view of the city skyline.”
“Whatever it is, money is no object tonight.”
Michael raised his hand like in school.
“Am I going to?”
“Of course, champ. The whole family.”
My heart skipped a little beat.
The whole family.
That included me, right?
I put the pancakes on the table and wiped my hands on my apron.
