Then to see that on my own child had asthma knocked me for a loop.
Luckily I’d been there with not only Trance, but Kettle and Sebastian as well.
They’d kept me calm, and we’d arrived at the hospital where Justice became the newest user of an inhaler.
Now we kept one in every vehicle. I kept one in my pocket, regardless of whether I was working or not, and Channing kept one in the diaper bag and her purse.
“Alright, baby. I’ll be there in a minute. I just want to check the house real quick,” I said as I let her go.
She nodded, walking quietly across the foyer and disappearing into the living room.
Her long white gown flowed behind her airily, and her brown hair, a good deal longer now, floated around her shoulders and waist as she swayed.
Shaking my head to clear it, I walked the house and double-checked the windows, locks, and doors.
There’d be no loving going on in the Rector house tonight, unfortunately, but that was okay.
Sometimes love wasn’t about intimacy. Sometimes it was about just being with the person you loved. Knowing they were close. Feeling their skin on yours. Smelling their scent. Laughing with you.
That’s what I had with Channing.
Peace.
Love.
And forever.
