     AFTER HALLOWEEN, ADDIE WAS MORE LENIENT WITH GEORGE. She smiled at him more, occasionally laughed at his jokes, and if he wanted to do something she didn't, she would eventually give in and let the family of three do something his way. Everyone around her was spooked. The last interaction they saw between Addie and George was her feeling betrayed by being singled out for one of his pranks. But, it turns out, that only made them closer.

     George was not focusing on his essay as he should have been twenty-four hours before, but he was instead watching Addie bob Shelley up and down on her lap. "I have a question," he said after a minute.

     "No, I will not write it for you," was Addie's automated response, since the chances he was about to ask that were extremely high.

     George held up a finger as he got up off of his stomach and sat facing her. "What's wrong with breastfee─"
