Dawn sat in the den with Tom and Lucy after she freshened up, her hair loosely tied back and her body wrapped in soft comfort.
The lights were dimmed, the curtains half drawn, and the television played quietly in front of them.
A movie was on. It was an old soap opera. Lucy had picked it. Tom leaned back with his arm stretched across the back of the couch, relaxed in a way Dawn had already learned meant he was home in his spirit.
Lucy sat on the other end of the couch with her legs resting on his thighs while she sipped from a glass of grape juice.
Dawn tried to focus on the movie, but her phone buzzed softly in her hand. She glanced down and smiled when she saw Mila had sent her a picture of Josh laughing.
She'd spoken to him after she freshened up earlier, but seeing a picture of his happy face warmed her heart.
When she saw a voice note was being recorded, she took out her earbud from her pocket and connected the phone to it.
