Trish sat up and thought for a minute. Then she said “maybe that would be best…I can’t shake the feeling something bad is going to happen…but it might be worse to handle if I’m there…”

Serena smiled as she made bags of snacks and said “she is a sweet kid…it has been a while…” she turned sharply and was much closer to josh then she meant to be. “Oh…sorry…” 

John felt her there and calmed as she moved into his arms. He seemed to do better with her there surprisingly.
