“I don’t know yet,” I said, my hand coming down to rub my lower back where the baby was kicking again. “But Norman and Tilly are helping us. Norman paid the electric bill yesterday.”
“They must hate him,” Margot said, her voice small.
“They are his parents,” I said. “But they are also your grandparents. They care about what happens to you.”
