“It’s settled then.” He said with a kind of pleasant neutrality to his voice.
His eyes tracked his wife as she crossed the room to him. He tilted his head back slightly to look up at her when she touched his face. His eyes fell closed for a moment and he smiled as if her touch were a great comfort to him. “Sure.” He agreed to her plan of attack. “I could use another cup of coffee.”

“Good morning, sweetheart.” He said to his daughter glancing at Julianna to see if they should go ahead and break the news to her. “You sleeping, okay?” He asked without masking the concern in his voice. “If you’re having problems, Nicholas could help you with that.”
