Destiny Denver

 The first thing I noticed wasn’t my son’s smile. It wasn’t the way he held out his arms to me when I came to pick him up. It was the faint, powdery-sweet scent clinging to his little jacket. A perfume I knew too well. Hers. And in that moment, my stomach dropped because I realized something was terribly wrong. It had started so simply. My best friend, Claire, had offered to babysit.
