Together Josie and Vicki waited.
At first it was awkward. But over time the awkwardness went away and they enjoyed each other's company and talking about Ada. Vicki talked about the adult Ada and Josie the child Ada.
Josie moved one of her yard cameras to watch over the saltwater pond that her daughter was in so that Vicki would come out to the porch and feel comfortable staying longer.
They sat and they watched the ocean together. Sometimes Vicki went for a swim but she never ventured far from the house.
Every day Josie tried to reach out to Eric but it was just empty space and nothingness. But she was not worried. He was Posideon’s son and even if he had died he would come back again. But she had no idea how she would be reborn if she had to be while her daughter was in the box.
