By the time Colin got up the next day, the news was all over town and, actually, the country. “Damn good thing I took care of it all last night,” Colin muttered to himself as he dragged himself from his bedroom.

He found his mother in the living room, staring at the TV, a box of Kleenex on her lap and her phone by her side.

It had been ringing constantly; he’d heard it from his room.

Heard how much she thanked God her baby was OK.

He dropped to the couch beside her. 10:00. He never slept this late.

“Saw you on the news.”

“Really?”

“Just a summary, you know. Got you a paper. Didn’t know if you’d want to … well, like you did for Danny. Fill up the blank pages at the end?”

Colin blinked as he looked into the blank blue eyes that mirrored his own. How could he and his mom look so much alike and yet be so different? “Thanks. Perfect.”

“They’re bringing in that guy from the city. Where you went to college. You know, the grief counselor.”

“Mike Danforth?”

“I think so.”

“Where are the sessions?”

“Church basement.”

“Same as before?” Colin asked.

“Same as before.”

Perfect.
