run in the direction Emma had gone but stopped in her tracks. “Don’t worry we’ll fix everything. Let’s go see the stuff Jenna got for Emma.” Shaley said to Spencer tugging on his jacket and pulling him along. ~
     
              Arrangements were made and Spencer started being dropped off every day after school at The Old Rectory. He spent most of his time watching Sona cook and she enjoyed teaching him how to do anything he wanted to try… not to mention taste everything in sight. Some days he went out back to play with Shaley and Storm or he would go down to the workout room to see what Emma was doing. He especially liked looking at the pictures and posters she had placed on the walls for inspiration. There were pictures of her favorite athletes as well as a couple of herself when she had made her own long distance swims. Spencer stood looking closely at one of the pictures for a long time. “You?” He asked pointing at one of the photographs. Emma smiled brightly. “Yes that’s me. That’s when I swam Lake Bernard last year. I’m hoping to do two long distance swims this year.” She explained to him. “Funny!” Spencer said giggling. “Ya I guess I do look pretty funny.” Emma admitted. The picture he had been looking at was one where she was wearing a short wet suit, skull cap and goggles. Emma patted him on the back as she went from one piece of equipment to the next. She was extremely pleased with the pieces Jenna had acquired for her totaling five pieces in all. They were high end pieces and must have cost the family a small fortune. ~
     
               Spencer coming over every day after school seemed to be working out well for everyone involved. Sona very much enjoyed having him around and it made her feel nostalgic for the days when she worked with special needs kids. Spencer was good company and very helpful. He showed interest in what she was doing and he loved to taste anything she made. The other piece was that she was able to see her best friend every day. Jenna told her one time over coffee how much Spencer looked forward to spending time with the family. Jenna was grateful that she could go off to work knowing Spencer was safe and happy.
              After dinner the girls went to their rooms to do their homework. Markie helped load the dishwasher in hopes that she and Sona could spend some time watching their favorite shows while cuddling. Sona and Markie settled in to watch Big Bang and then Bones. “I’m really proud of the girls for accepting Spencer so readily. I half expected Emma to be indifferent.” Markie commented. “They both have a strong foundation and I’m glad that we can say that we’ve played a part in it.” Sona said snuggling into the crook of Markie’s arm. She loved feeling safe and secure nestled into her loving embrace. ~
     
               Shaley skipped through the meadow along the rivers’ edge. The delicate wild violets were in full bloom of white and purples. The smell of all the flowers made her think of spring. These were the memories she would take with her into adulthood and look fondly upon… these memories and her early years with her parents before she understood that sometimes very bad things happened to good people. The river was swift in the early spring after the thaw but it had settled down to its usual steady pace.
              Shaley picked up a stalk of Queen Anne’s lace and examined its delicate structure reminding her of a snowflake. She smiled as she inhaled… It smelled like carrots. She glanced toward the tree line that separated their property from the Cemetery. There were more than the usual amount of visitors there this morning and she couldn’t help but wonder why.
              Pippi rode her bike to the edge of town stopping briefly to allow traffic to pass before she crossed to the side of the street where her best friend Shaley lived. They had met at school a few years back and
