Garber, who was always terribly absent-minded, forgot to tell him. ‘Yeah, Den, I’m real sorry, too,’ Rick said. He surprised Matt by giving him ...a hug. Matt liked that, but he’d have preferred one from Mary. Mary desperately wanted to hug the young man, but she was still feeling guilty about the fact that she’d slept with her husband, so she held back. The Forresters moved on, and the numbing parade of mourners continued. The funeral wasn’t no more bearable. At the service, Reverend Garber. "Go back to sleep," he whispered.He quietly got dressed. He looked over and saw Lucas and Robert. They weresound asleep.He knew the20routine. He walked out to the chicken coop, joining hismother as they gathered eggs for breakfast."How are you doing this morning, love?" she said."I'm doing fine ma," he said as he gathered enough eggs for his basket."Are you excited about going to Windham manor?" she asked."Yes, ma, I am," he said."I can't blame you," his mother said. "I know Mrs. Windham will. Angela even helped serve the desserts and pour the after dinner coffee. As I watched, I realized that Angela was actually enjoying herself with my family. She seemed relaxed for the first time since arriving. I was happy for her.She spent all the next week with the kids. She even put on an apron and helped in the kitchen. I snapped a picture on my cell phone of her working in the kitchen. I sent the picture to her father. I know he wouldn't believe it.Two days later, I got punched in the arm by. We’ll have to see what Jennifer thinks and feels on this, should she join in with us. I’m okay if she wants to sing a few songs.”I was happy hearing how well these three were able to share band ideas and enjoyed just listening to their banter. Lynette looked over at me and saw the contented smile on my face and asked, “And what are you thinking about all this, my good man?”“I’m good with everything you’ve said about our band’s vocals. The fun stuff will be figuring out which songs we want to.
