She shook her head. "I can't even imagine it. And I definitely don't know how he came out of all that being as nice as he is."
Chloe lifted her eyes to Johanna appraisingly as she tilted her head again, then smiled. "I think you'd be a good mom if only because you know how horrible people can be to each other and you wouldn't want that to come out." She shrugged. "And we're all a community here. You'd have help."
