She smiled. "You didn't have to do that."
I ran a hand through her hair. "Tell me, why haven't we done this more?"
She punched my arm. "Like you ever had eyes for anyone but Mom! Jerk."
I laughed. "Now, wait a minute. As I recall, you weren't exactly chasing after me either."
"But I'm the girl. I shouldn't have to chase." She shrugged. "That doesn't matter anymore anyway though. We're both back in the swing of things now. Let's try to remember to make more time for each other this time around."
"Deal," I said before stealing a quick glance over at the coffee table.
"I don't really care, you know," Nat said. "About you and Mom. It's actually sweet. So I was cast in a supporting role in the story of your life. That's okay. I've got my own story."
I wrapped an arm around her shoulder and kissed the top of her head.

Anonymousover 12 years agoThey were there when Jack died. They should have been there when the bubble was formed. Did Frank leave them out or are they at the edges somewhere?
jdnunyerover 12 years agoAuthorThanks again, DigDaddy.
We may see good news for Holly in a few chapters. :)
Good observation about Dom. These people are good about forcing themselves not to think about anything too unpleasant, aren't they?
digdaddyrichover 12 years agoFrank seems to have a lot of trouble with his memory. I'm glad that some of his powers have come back to him.
No one even mentioned Dom not being not there, like they have forgotten that the was devoured.
A good read, thanks
