the best mommy in the world.” Her eyes got really big. “And my dad is the best, too.” Her face was very serious.
“Well, Maggie, can you tell me how you got hurt?”
“I was throwing horseshoes with my brother.”
“Can you show me where your leg hurts?”
Her eyes began to well with tears. “I don’t like looking at it.”
Cole glanced around the room. “Do you like books?”
“Yes.” She lit up.
Cole rolled his chair over to a magazine rack, and stuffed in the back for occasions like this was a kid’s book. He pulled it out. “I happen to have a Dora the Explorer book. Do you like Dora?”
“I am Dora.”
“Oh, I thought you were Maggie.”
“I’m both!” The little girl giggled.
Cole handed the book to her mom. “Okay then, Maggie and Dora the Explorer. Can you show me where you hurt?”
The little girl lifted up her skirt to her knee, revealing a cut that clearly needed stitches.
“Okay. Let me get my pack full of stuff to fix your ouchie.”
“Will it hurt?”
“Only a tiny bit, I promise.”
As Cole sewed up Maggie’s leg, his mind began to dwell on Sashi. Was she okay? What was she doing? He couldn’t wait to kiss her again.
