Chapter Twenty

Justina met the Clifton’s for breakfast. Afterwards they met up with Joyce, Roger, and Maggie then they visited the Dallas Museum of Art and the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science. The remainder of the day was spent at West End.

Justina noticed a tall man wearing a beige hat following them for a while which made her a bit nervous, but she said nothing as they continued their day.

As Justina stepped off the elevator the next morning and began walking to her car, she had a strange feeling she was being watched but brushed it away. She kept walking to her car, but she thought she heard footsteps, so she walked faster to her car and hurried inside. She looked around the garage but saw no one.

As Justina’s car sped off, a strange man stepped out of the shadows and watched her car speed away.

Justina arrived at Jim and Matthew’s office and waved at Joyce and Roger as she parked.

“I’m excited about this presentation,” Joyce said as Justina approached them.

“You’re a wonderful speaker and your ideas are usually right on,” Justina assured Joyce.

Roger smiled at them and teased, “You two act like you’re sisters with the way you encourage each other.”

Joyce shrugged, but laughed, “Well, she has become like a sister to me. I’m closer to her than I ever have been to my own siblings.”

Justina nodded in agreement, “You feel like family to me. Heck, you and Christopher are the closest things I have to any family.”

Roger paused and gently patted Justina’s shoulder, “Justina, you are always welcome in our lives. In fact, you’re welcome to spend the holidays with us this year, if you’d like.”

Joyce shot Roger a frown but said nothing.

Roger then coughed uncomfortably, “Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot you don’t celebrate holidays. I...”

Justina saw the discomfort on both of their faces and felt sorry for them. Though Elizabeth had always made grand attempts to make every holiday festive, specifically Christmas, Justina had not been one to celebrate any holiday.

She could not recall one time in her life where she awakened the next morning after losing a tooth, to find money under her pillow, nor did she ever see anything resembling a giant Easter Bunny hopping around giving away candy, or a big jolly guy running around in a red suit doing good deeds. Besides, Easter and Christmas was supposed to be about Jesus Christ. She had not really bought into all the religious hype, so there really was not any reason for her to participate in holidays, except for the ones, which honored America and the American Veterans.

Justina cleared her throat, laughed and looked at her watch as she gave Roger a sympathetic look. He had really meant well by the gesture. “I know you were just polite. It’s okay, really, now, we have meetings to attend.”

When they reached Kingston and Lawton Law Firm, the receptionist politely greeted them, “Hello, Mr. Lawton, you may go in. They will be with you shortly.”

“Thank you, Jane,” Roger answered as he walked past the desk.
