I ran a hand through her hair. "Tell me, why haven't we done this more?"

I laughed. "Now, wait a minute. As I recall, you weren't exactly chasing after me either."
"But I'm the girl. I shouldn't have to chase." She shrugged. "That doesn't matter anymore anyway though. We're both back in the swing of things now. Let's try to remember to make more time for each other this time around."
"Deal," I said before stealing a quick glance over at the coffee table.
"I don't really care, you know," Nat said. "About you and Mom. It's actually sweet. So I was cast in a supporting role in the story of your life. That's okay. I've got my own story."

Thanks again, DigDaddy.
We may see good news for Holly in a few chapters. :)
Good observation about Dom. These people are good about forcing themselves not to think about anything too unpleasant, aren't they?
Frank seems to have a lot of trouble with his memory. I'm glad that some of his powers have come back to him.
No one even mentioned Dom not being not there, like they have forgotten that the was devoured.
A good read, thanks
