not the only non-religious person who could have handle d the Bowler case.
He cleared his mind of Sheila and work related things , put some jazz on and went out to grill his steak. It was a beautiful evening and he was going to enjoy it even if it was by himself . A strange feeling of revelation came over him as he suddenly realized he was feeling lonely. He brought his dinner out to the deck and went back in for a beer. He popped the tab off , taking a long drink . F or the first time in his life , he wondered what his life would be like if he had married and had a family like most of his friends and peers.
As he prepared for bed later that night , he had the weirdest feeling he was not alone. Could he have seen into the spiritual realm, he would have witnessed a war being waged and the prize ? H is immortal soul.

Brenna had cried until there just were no more tears and Joe wore a bewildered woe-be-gone look that made Honey ’s heart ache. Honey made th e m all hot tea and they were sitting around an old fashion ed kitchen table trying to make sense of what had happened that day . Andrew had brought them home and stayed for a short while but then had to leave. He aimed to get their case heard the next day because of Carol’s illness. T he judge had said if at all possible she would hear their case.
Before he left, Andrew pointed out that they needed to be at their best the next day and advised them to get some sleep . Dwight and Honey stayed until Joe and Brenna had plenty of Chamomile tea down th e m before saying goodnight .
Joe and Brenna knelt at the ir bedside and prayed for God to keep their baby safe. They both cried until sleep gently took over and gave them a reprieve from their grief.
For Dwight , i t had been a long day and night. He let himself in his house silently after dropping Honey off, trying not to disturb Mildred or the baby. It had been a trying day with the Bowlers but he couldn’t help but feel a burden had been lifted from him and knew it was because for the first time since Kim died, he was able to talk about her to someone. Since her death he had to be strong not only for his daughter but because everyone expected him to be. As a pastor , it was his job to do the listening and his feelings had been shut up for months until today. He had just blurted it all out to Honey . She was a good listener and he could understand why she was considered a good therapist . He went to sleep with prayer on his lips interceding for the Bowlers.
Honey crawled into her bed thinking about what she c ould say to the people at the ACAA the next day to undo any damage she may have done earlier . If she had taken the call, they would know what this was all about. She had mentally kicked herself a dozen times for putting them off. Hopefully she would have another go at it tomorrow, if it was indeed about Carol.
She fell into a dreamless sleep minutes after she lay her head on the pillow.
But sleep eluded Jacks who was restless . His mind kept reflecting on his move to Mississippi and his life in general . He was glad he made the move but now he just felt like something was out of sync . He kept thinking about the lonesome feeling that had washed over him. It was a new feeling for him, as he was self sufficient and needed nothing or no one. Something he learned from a very early age was that you could count on no one but yourself. He had been disappointed too many times. When he did sleep, it was a disturbing dream filled sleep that left him tired and aching when he woke.
He was still not in the best of moods when he arrived back at the office the next morning . His scowl
