“How’s everything going?” I asked Lidia when she had released her niece into the fray. Honey’s girls pulled Dahlia into their games right away.Lidia pushed the hair back from her eyes, which had dark circles under them despite her makeup. “Good. I’m starting to make headway on clearing out Valerie’s apartment. I’m not sure if I’m going to get through it all before the funeral, and my husband is supposed to be home from the Philippines next week. I’m anxious for him and Dahlia to get to know each other better.”“How does he feel about gaining a daughter?” Honey asked. I could tell she was choosing her words with care.A smile lit Lidia’s face. “He’s excited. We’ve never been able to have children together, and we’ve talked about adoption a few times.” She turned to Dahlia, who was walking a Bratz figure alongside Madison’s doll as if the two of them were out for a stroll in the park. “Sometimes wonderful things can happen in the midst of tragedy.”I agreed with her.
