Larry simply lies on the couch with his son and four dogs, trying desperately to enjoy the moment. Usually, if he and Ally had both taken a day off from work, the boys would either be at school, or playing video games in their rooms for hours on end, leaving he and Ally with the alone time that they were rarely afforded. But the circumstances have changed.

This wasn’t a day he was planning on having free from work. This was far from what he wanted. Of course he would love to spend the day with his family, but not under these dreadful conditions. He peers over at Ally as he rubs Matthew’s tummy gently, they boy becoming quite sleepy from the warmth of his father and the four canines surrounding them.

       Ally’s eyes fixate on a spot off across the room, her mind wandering aimlessly, though mostly her thoughts didn’t stay in any one place. There was plenty for her to think about, for sure, but at the moment she just couldn’t focus herself enough. “Renee will be here shortly,” she states, her voice just a little above a whisper as she lets her eyes fall closed.

Absently, she brings her legs up to cross them underneath her and repositions her head against the flat of her palm. Despite her eyes being closed, there was absolutely no way she could escape the heartache she felt, if anything it felt as if it’d been magnified by a thousand by just that simple action. With a sigh, she flicks her eyes open, and looks over at her husband and son.
