56 Nate Nova was fussing about everything. She didn’t want her food. Everything I put on her tray, she flung at the wall. The stuff that didn’t get immediately flung got shoved to the floor. Then she’d go back to fussing. I tried singing. I tried dancing. I did the food airplane. I gave her a bottle. That got thrown at a wall, and note to self: my girl might be an athlete. I checked her temp. She was fine. I checked her ears. They looked good, but maybe it was still them? I had a pounding headache. I knew Quincey wasn’t still going to the bathroom. My luck, I’d f****d things up again with her. My phone was buzzing and ringing all at the same time, and I didn’t know that was possible. “Ahhhh!” Now Nova was screaming and banging. The fork got thrown, and her head went backward.
