Just as I was parking my car, I noticed a black Jeep Wrangler waiting patiently for the gates to open, leading him to my house.
We both exchanged greetings and I told him where the furniture store was going to be. I suggested leaving his car here, and to car pool with me to our next destination. He agreed and we were off.
“So what’s the furniture for anyway Marsh?” Toby asked as he took a sip of his water.
“A girl…” I replied casually.
I figured that if people were going to be put into the position of having to know about my idea of adopting, I may as well tell them as casually and normally as I could. It would be a big deal if I made it sound like a big deal. Of course, secrecy would still remain toward the subject; I would make sure of that.
