I TOSS AND TURN ALL night. It’s no different from most other nights, except tonight, when I find myself unable to sleep, I can’t help getting out of bed and going into the next room to check on Sammy. Every time, she’s sound asleep, so I don’t know why I’m feeling the need to check on her again, but I am.

Normally on Sundays, I sleep in a little. Mass doesn’t start until ten, which gives me at least two extra hours of sleep if I want it, but that’s not going to happen this morning.

After checking on Sammy one more time, I head downstairs and am met with Kay whisking batter in a bowl.

“Can’t sleep?” she asks, barely turning around to see it’s me.

“No,” I groan, heading directly for the coffee pot. “Tossed and turned all night.”

“I think I checked on Sammy half a dozen times.” She laughs, shaking her head.

“I’m surprised we missed each other.” I lift the coffee up to my mouth and inhale the aroma before I take my first sip. “We must’ve been like two ships passin’ in the night.”

Kay walks over to the stove and pulls out her iron griddle for the pancakes she promised Sammy.

“You’re really good with her,” she says, turning to me and smiling. “I knew you would be, but seeing you with her last night was just . . .” She drifts off, shaking her head. “She’s so precious, Tucker. My only regret is that we didn’t know her sooner, and . . . well, I’m just so sorry about her mama.”

“Yeah, it’s definitely not the best-case scenario.”

“She’s real sick, huh?” Kay asks and I can see the worry and concern on her face. She’s a mama and she knows. Like Annie, Kay loves taking care of people. It’s what God put her on this earth to do, so of course, Sophie’s story bothers her.

“She is.” I nod my head, taking a deep breath. “A lot worse than I even realized at first.”

Kay bites down on her lip and draws her brows together. “I really hate it. For her and for that precious baby. It just doesn’t seem fair.”

“I know. I’ve thought the same thing a hundred times. I hate it too, for Sammy and for Sophie. She’s a good mom, Kay. You’d really like her. She loves that little girl more than anything. I can’t say I’m too happy about the fact that she waited until now to search me out, but I can’t fault her. It was a crazy situation and she didn’t know me. She just wanted to live her life with Sammy and be happy, but it’s not going to work out like that.”

Kay sighs and turns to the stove. She’s quiet for a minute, probably collecting herself.

“I talked to Cami this mornin’.” She sniffles once before continuing. “She’s a little upset that you didn’t call her and tell her Sammy was comin’ yesterday.”

Shit.

“I forgot. Honestly, the only thing I could think about yesterday was getting Sammy and trying to figure out how all of this is gonna work.
