As Mrs Anderson reached for the doorknob to the study, a thought sprung into Liz’s head.
“Mom,” she said.
“Yes, dear?” said Mrs. Anderson as she turned the doorknob but had not yet pulled the door open.
“If you need a babysitter, I’m your girl,” Elizabeth smiled genuinely.
Mrs Anderson smiled back. “I’m glad I can count on you, Liz.”
Truth be told, Elizabeth was actually excited. Being the younger sibling always made her feel as if she were in Jessica’s shadow. Deep down there was a part of her that would like to have a baby around the house, even if the “baby” were a chronological adult. Jess and Liz used to be best friends, and since this whole diaper episode started, Liz felt Jess was hiding something from her.
She was unsure whether she thought it was easier or harder now that she knew what it was Jess was hiding.
