“Did you want to shave your arms before he said that?” he asked.
She shook her head.
“Then don’t let someone else make that decision for you,” he replied.
I expected him to do more, but he explained that Emma was already embarrassed and he didn’t want to make things worse by starting a fight.
The next morning, I was shocked when Daniel invited Tyler to dinner.
“Why would you invite him after what he did?” I asked.
“Because Emma is afraid that standing up for herself will cost her something,” he explained. “I want her to understand what she’s afraid of losing.”
On Sunday, Tyler arrived with cookies, and dinner began pleasantly. They talked about school, basketball, and Emma’s art assignment.
