I took the twin car seats and placed them in my Honda insight sedan that I had bought before the twins were born and left for the city . It was an hour journey in which I was really nervous wreck but I was glad that I could drive properly. When I reached down the road to our mansion I heart started pounding hard .
Cadmus was waiting outside the Federal colonial mansion for us when I pulled down the long winding driveway. He didn't even look in my direction as his hand reached for the backdoor where our sons sat bundled into the car seat.
"Open it!" His words came to me through the protection of the glass. My hand trembled and I felt like I was going to throw up any second when I reached for the button to open the childproof door. I remember the way he'd snatched the door open. The way he'd stood there looking down at the evidence of my treachery only then realizing just what I'd done.
I watched as he covered his mouth with his fingers just above his top lip. Something I'd seen him do a hundred times when he was trying to calm himself down. He still hadn't acknowledged my presence as he stared down at our sons who had fallen asleep on the ride but were now coming awake.
