But nope. Laura has taken over, and before I know it, we’re chatting about my husband, my new home, and my overzealous Nigerian uncles. She’s even busy taking in my surroundings: Is that a Kehinde Wiley?” she asks, pointing at the baroque painting of my then-toddler son on the wall behind me. Yes, it is.
