Chapter 13 - Marcus Changes His Own Life

Marcus reduced his travel schedule.
Not because Maya demanded it.
Because he finally admitted he had outsourced too much of his parenting.
He had provided money.
A beautiful house.
Good schools.
Activities.
But he had trusted someone else to tell him whether Maya was happy.
That would not happen again.
He began taking Maya to dance himself.
He learned the names of her teachers.
He attended parent meetings.
He even learned how to make a terrible ballet bun.
Maya laughed the first time.
“It looks like a potato.”
“It is an architectural bun.”
“You build houses.”
“Exactly.”
Their life became less polished.
May you like
More chaotic.
Better.
