“If I can have with Joe, even a shadow of what you and Edward have, I’ll consider myself blessed. Joe is a good man. He loves me. He makes sure we always have red licorice and pie. He listens to me and laughs at my jokes. He’s good to all my nieces and nephews. Of course it goes without saying his dog is fabulous. And he knows my family is important. It’s important to him too.

His mother had a whole lot on her plate. It wasn’t what Tate had with Polly, but that was all right too. There was only one Polly in the world, anyway.

But his father was doing well on his most recent course of treatment. His mother was accepting that he could be actually getting better. His sister and her kids and husband were coming out for Christmas.
