Chapter 28 - Jake Becomes a FatherJake had a daughter named Emma.

When she was four, Noah became her favorite person.
Mostly because he let her use his tablet to draw trucks.
Jake became overprotective in completely different ways.
Car seats.
Playgrounds.
Strangers.
Noah once typed:
YOU WORRY TOO MUCH.
Jake stared.
“You?”
YES.
“How is that fair?”
No answer.
Emma climbed onto Noah’s chair.
“Uncle Noah, truck.”
He opened the drawing app.
Life repeated nothing exactly.
Good.
Jake taught Emma:
If a person communicates differently, wait.
Do not force words.
Ask before touching.
Find a trusted adult if someone scares you.
Simple.
