Sweetness

My morning came at five because Maggie, my boss, asked if I would go with her and drive the 12 hours with her to drop her son off with his dad and back. I told her I would.

Getting up there was fine. I switched out the DVD's for Alex to watch and went into the rest-stop to change him. When we finally got to their meeting place and her ex showed up, she wouldn't look at him. She opened up Alex's suit case and put his pillow in it and zipped it back up. She told The Ex only what she had to and gave Alex a hug. Alex held on to her and wouldn't let go. He buried his face into her jacket and proceeded to yell "No!" (This was his third time to visit with his dad. He'll be back in a week.) He gave me a hug and then his dad pulled him away. We got in the car and Maggie cried. "And what gets me the most is that the asshole didn't even want him."

I didn't know how to comfort her. Or if she wanted it.
