After returning home from the hospital, the first thing Alice did was go to her bedroom. She closed the door and put Grace down on the mattress so the moonlight coming in from the bedroom window fell across her three-day-old body. Alice listened, but the trailer’s usual sounds were absent, replaced instead by the soft cooing from Grace’s tiny mouth. Olive had taken Kathy and Jayne over to her place, and Ryan had stayed in the city with some friends. She’d been upset at first that he would even think to do something like that, leave her and their newborn girl alone, but it wasn’t long before she welcomed the idea. It was peaceful.

Alice stroked Grace’s cheeks and lay down beside her. She watched as her baby’s eyes darted around as though looking at everything, but she knew Grace could only really focus on her mother’s face. Alice liked that. Grace’s arms and legs were twitching involuntarily. One day they’d move, bring her to the most amazing places. But, for now, she was right where she needed to be.
