Chapter Thirteen – Family Conference.

(Jennifer.)

It was a quiet journey home from the hospital, I don’t think either of us could get past the similarity between Julia and a young Jessie.

Jeff kissed me after locking up and quietly went up to bed, but I couldn’t settle so I sat in the kitchen nursing a cup of tea while I got my thoughts into some sort of order.
