Justine - Early Morning of Thursday the 29th
It’s almost one o’clock as I look at Lola, brushing some hair from her face. Today was traumatic for her, and I want to wipe it away with another kiss. She seems at peace, finally resting. I don’t want to wake her, either.
I’m only restless and can never sleep after a stressful day like this. Rather than moping, I pick up my phone to text Damien. He responds, but the ding startles Lola. I silence the notifications quickly. She settles, and I’m able to continue my response.
Damien - I sent you an email containing all her info.
Me - Perfect, I can’t sleep and need something to do.
Damien - I would offer to help, but I know your answer.
Me - Not tonight. Lola is more important.
Damien - I agree
Just as I receive another message, Lola start
