What had happened was serious enough without adding a different ending to it.

Garrett told people I had used my father to get him fired.

When someone passed that account to me, I asked that workplace questions go through the company.

The signatures, dates, invoices, and account entry existed before the birth.

My complaint had caused a review; it had not created the underlying records.

I did not need to repeat that argument to every person he spoke to.

The babies needed feeding.
