Hailey wanted to honestly tell him that she’d been bored out of her mind, but that wasn’t what he’d expected to hear. “I had fun,” she said. It wasn’t entirely a lie, as she did have fun wetting her pants and prancing around the house partially naked, but there was no way she was going to admit that to her father.
That was irrelevant now, though. “Erin’s already there, right?” she asked.
“Yes, your mother’s helping her get situated,” replied her father. “Also, do you think you can do your mother and me a favor?”
“I guess so.”
“Okay. Erin has been through a lot recently, and I don’t want you to trouble her with bad memories if she doesn’t want to talk about it. If she brings it up, that’s fine, but otherwise, I’d prefer that you let her past be her past.”
