Chapter Seven

Julie had been in a rush all day. She had stayed up late last night, talking to Janine and trying to encourage her to reach out to William. She hated to see her give up a relationship that had been so good for the both of them.

She also spent a good hour on the phone with Meg, encouraging her to keep believing that things were going to get better. She would start on her hormonal treatments that week, and she would have her first group counseling session soon. Julie felt confident that her daughter was going to get back on the right track soon.

After working most of the morning at the bookstore, she had contacted Janine, Colleen and Meg and invited them to eat lunch with her on the square. They didn't get nearly enough time together, just chatting and spending time talking. That “girl time” was becoming more important to her as she got older.

Thankfully, they had all agreed. Most of the time, she met Dawson for lunch, but she was quite sure he was busy at the inn, interacting with his first guest. She hadn't had a chance to talk to him today, so she shot him at a quick text message telling him that she hoped everything was going well and that she would touch base with him that evening on her way home from work.

Dawson was good about letting her have time with her family and friends. He never tried to encroach upon that like Michael did. Michael had always hated when she had lunch dates with her friends, somehow thinking that meant that she didn't want to spend time with him. Now she didn’t feel nearly as guilty as she used to about that.

"Glad you could make it," Julie said to Meg as she walked up, pushing the stroller with Vivi inside. Christian had to work, so Meg was on her own, which was another reason why Julie wanted to spend some time with her today.

"Me too. I think I needed to get out of the apartment for a while."

A few moments later Colleen and Janine made their way to the table from different sides of the square. Dixie was manning the bookstore or else Julie would've invited her too. She was so grateful for the strong female energy she had in her life now.

“Man, we've been slammed at the studio today," Janine said, as she sat down and leaned over to look into the stroller. "We had a new class this morning for women over sixty, and those ladies were rowdy!"

Julie laughed. "A rowdy yoga class? I'm not sure that's the way it’s supposed to work."

"Things have been quiet at work for me today. Of course, I can't keep Tucker away from my desk. He's constantly leaving me a little love notes," Colleen swooned.

“Gag. Love notes cause situations like this to happen," Meg said, pointing at the baby and laughing.

Julie enjoyed the banter that she got to have with her adult daughters. It was a totally different kind of relationship than she'd had with them as kids.
