That was what my dad used to call me.

My eyes welled up with tears as I sat down. “Timothy, are you feeling alright?”

Considering how badly Bryant got beaten, it was clear Timothy was furious.

He poured me a cup of coffee, his mustache twitching. “I’m fine, my dear. I just had to teach Bryant a lesson and ensure that Margaret gets the message, too.”
