Then Terri said, “Okay?” as she released him.
“Okay,” Kevin replied wiping his eyes with the palms of his hands.
Almost immediately the doorbell rang. “I’ll get it,” I said.
It was the driver from the car service. “I know I’m a bit early, please tell Mrs. O’Neil I’m here. No rush, whenever she’s ready.”
“Carrie, could you help me bring my bags out?” Terri asked.
“Sure,” I responded.
I picked up one of her bags and she grabbed the other. “Be right back, Kevin,” she said.
When we approached the car, the driver said, “Mrs. O, I would have gotten that for you.”
“It’s no problem, Sam. I needed a minute alone with Carrie here.”
“Carrie, this has been a really tough year for Kevin and the last couple days…”she trailed off.
“I know.”
