They had a small Shetland pony with them that they had been using to transport the little girl. Sam volunteered to take it out to the horse barn. Forty minutes later, Paige comes upstairs to the kitchen carrying the small girl on her hip. She hugs Simon again and shakes her head. There are tears in her light blue eyes again, but she manages to hold them back. “I thought you were dead,” Simon says as he indicates that they should go into the music room where he offers her a seat. Most of the family is there waiting for them. There is much to go over, and everyone is curious. “Thanks,” she says as she takes a seat. “I didn’t know if you were dead, either.” “I thought I’d never see you again,” he states the obvious but can’t help it. “Ditto,” she replies softly. Simon stares at her in disbelief as if he is seeing a ghost. Many times over these last years, he would’ve been happy even just to see her ghost. Paige readjusts the child in her lap. The tiny girl’s short curls are springing back to life, and she wears recycled clothing from Sue’s daughter, Ari.
