Vickie proved to be a grind distraction. waited for the park meeting at 5 pm. After she and fimmy had settled on the the office, Rose had climbed into her lap. Rose told the pair about her playing at the park. Vickie, being dramatic, was able in noh and auh in the right spots to keep Rose engaged. She asked questions when Pose took a breath. Vickie was great with kids.

“If you ever need a babysitter, please let me know! I would love to babysit this little flower for you,” she practically begs

“I’ll let you know. But you will have to fight off the twins uncles and Gretchen for that right,” I laugh.

“Done, if it means she gets to spend time with me,”

“No,” I say as I look around the office, I spot the vase of pink roses on Mark’s desk.

“I figured you could use some more,” she laughs again. It is not a fake laugh but a genuine laugh. She is happy to be here and talking with me,

I smile at her. It’s nice to talk to someone who wants to engage in a conversation with me that has not been connected to me before everything happened. I still sometimes feel like the twins, their uncles, and the ranked members talk to me out of pity. I know on some level that it is not true, but I can’t turn my thinking around in a few days.

“Well, we have a few minutes before the meeting.” Vickie laughs as she pulls a bug out of her purse. “Out boys while I get our Luna

“You knew this is our office, right?” Mark asks with an eyebrow raised.

“Yep, now out so I can apply some makeup to her face and fix her hair. Unfortunately, I did not bring any clothes with me,” she mutters to herself.

Come of mom’s clothes are still upstairs,” Cal states, everyone freezes.

“Perfect,” Vickie shouts. She starts to drag me out of the chair.

“Slow down, her leg is still hurt,” Cal then growls.

“Right, sorry,” Vickie laughs nervously. “Okay, you can carry her and lead the way.”

Cal rolls his eyes and picks me up. Mark lets out a laugh and picks up Rose. We are carried out of the office and up a flight of stairs. He leads us to a room. Vickie opens the door for all of us. We are both set on the bed. I take in a deep breath through my nose. The scents are very old and faint. No one really comes into this room.

Mark opens the closet door and then states, “After mom died, dad hated being in their room. It reminded him to much of what he

lost.”

“Okay, boys,” Vickie says as she starts to push Mark out of the room. “Out, we have less than fifteen minutes the pack. I will link when we are ready. Amglie will make a grand entrance and everyone will love her.

Both of the twins roll their eyes at Vickie/but they leave the room. Rose runs into the closet to look at the clothes. She is smiling. and laughing as she runs her fingers over the fabric of the different clothes and dresses.

“I think the Luna was your size,” she mutters to herself as she follows Rose into the closet. “Okay flower, let’s make your mommy the prettiest woman in the whole world.”

Rose cheers as she starts to look more closely at the dresses. She pulls on a floor length black gown first. “Pretty,” Rose says as the
