“Yeah,” I said. “All of you. I’m not interested in just one.”
Her lips twitched slightly. “What if you change your mind?”
“I won’t. You’ve had enough people do that already.”
Ruby peeked out. “Do you have snacks?”
I grinned. “Yeah, I’ve always got snacks.”
Karen let out a soft chuckle behind me.
After that came court.
The judge asked, “Mr. Ross, do you understand you are assuming full legal and financial responsibility for four minor children?”
“Yes, Your Honor,” I answered. I was terrified, but I meant every word.
