“I crawl fully onto the bed and straddle him. It’s not exactly something I’ve had much practice at. In my head, it’s all graceful and natural and I sort of swing myself over like a cowboy into the saddle. But, basically, I kind of scrabble and then plop but, hey, it gets the job done.”

“Riley and Jack stood at the words and turned to
face the small woman who looked like she couldn't blow over a paper tower. Gray hair and dark-rimmed glasses certainly gave her the appearance of a school mistress, but being so close to the floor? She couldn't be an inch over five feet, and Jack felt like a giant. God knew how Riley felt. ... Jack expected her to sit behind the desk that sat imposingly in the corner, but instead, she led them to a grouping of comfy chairs. The chair seemed to swallow Jack, and he struggled to sit upright, looking over to see Riley was having the same problem. Squirming without making it too obvious, he perched more towards the front. Clearly, the chairs were some kind of torture for parents, one way to level the playing field given her height. She forced all the tall big people to fall into a sofa abyss.”
