Alex read it, convulsed with sadness. Christmas. Why was that one day so incredibly meaningful? One single twenty-four hours. And yet . . . the thought of it without the girls filled her with grief. She’d been with them every Christmas of their lives, from the first when they’d been oblivious bundles, to the frantic excitement of stockings and presents and all that went with it as they grew older.

He wants to take them away from me.

She caught herself up.

It’s not about me.

But still, it caused her pain. He wanted them, she wanted them. One of them had to surrender.

She thought and then wrote a quick email to Tim:

I don’t disagree in principle with what you want to do. I understand you’d like the girls with you. The problem is that Pa is desperately ill, and the doctors are expecting him to go at any time. I would prefer it if the girls could be here when that happens. Can we try and agree to be flexible? If they are here for that, and it happens before Christmas, I don’t mind if you take them for the stretch between Christmas and New Year. If not, you can take them for Christmas Day and Boxing Day, but I’d prefer it if they can be nearby in case of any sudden changes. I hope you can see that this won’t be repeated, and I’d appreciate your understanding.
