We\u2019re not close-close, but we\u2019ve done enough birthdays and carpools that I trusted her.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"954\" data-end=\"1025\">So when Jordan started asking to sleep over more often, I didn\u2019t panic.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1115\">Once a month turned into every other weekend.<br data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1075\" \/>Every other weekend turned into routine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1179\">Friday afternoons, the backpack would come out like clockwork.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1208\">\u201cYou asked Tessa?\u201d I\u2019d say.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1263\">\u201cYeah, Mom,\u201d Jordan would sigh. \u201cShe said it\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1310\">At first, I was careful.
