章節 68: Chapter 68: When You Need Your Best Friend

Maggie called Casey from the train.  “I’m on my way.  I hope you don’t mind, I just needed to get away,” she said quietly.

“Don’t worry about a thing,” Casey told her.  “John can stay with the kids, I’ll pick you up.”

On the drive from the train station, Casey watched Maggie out of the corner of her eye.  Maggie stared straight ahead and said little.  Casey noticed that she didn’t have any bags other than her purse.  She also noticed that the engagement ring was missing. 

When they arrived at Casey and John’s, Casey offered her dinner or something to drink.  Maggie shook her head.  “I’m so tired,” she said.  “I just want to go to sleep.”

Casey hugged Maggie tightly.  “Well, the guest room is all yours.  Sweetie, I don’t know what’s going on, and you don’t have to talk about it until you’re ready.  But you know I love you, and we’re here for you, both John and I.”
