Phoebe
Phoebe hears the knock and her son's voice and her heart flutters. Her boy. Her perfect, perfect boy. She had left a bedspread and change of clothes for him, knowing this night would come. But by tomorrow? It would all disappear into the ether.
She opened the door and smiled brightly at the boy, ignoring for now that Harper would notice how bare the house was. "Oh Jude! Mom missed you!" she said, hugging him and kissing the side of his head. "Why don't you go get ready for bed while mom and dad talk?" she said, sending him along. Her eyes rose to Harper. There would be no quick escape. Not tonight.
