CHAPTER 40: CLAIRE

Thursday, June 28, 1945

Claire carried her sleeping daughter into her room, kissed her cheek, and slowly placed her in her crib. She did so slowly not because she feared waking Hannah but because she wanted to savor every second. Of all the things she did as a mother or had done as a woman, nothing came close to this. Putting her baby to bed was heaven on earth.

As she gazed at Hannah from the edge of the crib, she pondered her difficult past, her unsettled present, and her uncertain future. Though she had faith in her husband and brother and faith in herself, she worried about the unexpected. If there was one thing she had learned as a time traveler, it was that she could take nothing for granted.

Claire kissed her fingertips, touched Hannah's cheek, and reluctantly slipped away. A moment later, she slowly opened and closed a squeaky door, stepped into the hallway, and moved toward the living room, her brother, and a necessary conversation.

Claire entered the living room just as David, sitting on the sofa, finished a letter she had given him. Sensing that he had much to say about the day's correspondence, she joined him on the couch, took a deep breath, and gave him her undivided attention.

"Did you read both letters?" Claire asked.

"I read both twice," David said. He placed the letters on the middle cushion. "We have a lot to discuss."

Claire nodded but did not speak. She instead picked up the first letter, from U.S. Navy recruit Ronald A. Rasmussen, and reread the end of his message.
