"I am sorry, Savannah. I know how much you love them. I also know how determined you are, and I know in my heart you'll find them." If they were still alive. With Jenna there was no finding her. She was just gone.
"I don't hate it here," April assured her. "Is it my first choice? No. Would I rather raise Eve in a place without the guns and the risks and the constant moving? Yes. But I don't hate it, and I'm glad to have you in my life again."
"Give me some time. I wasn't very happy when I first arrived here, not until I started feeling like this could be home. Now I need to get used to that idea again, to this kind of life again."
"And to the idea that I won't be spending my days with her any longer," she said looking at her daughter. Now that was an idea she truly loathed. She liked having her daughter close, and though she tried not to think about it she knew that Robert would most likely be babysitting her at least once a week. Would he treat her differently because she was hers? She wished she trusted him to be a better man than that, but truth was she didn't.
That part was best not mentioned to Savannah, however. Instead she just continued. "I never pictured myself as a mum, especially a stay-at-home mum, but- Well life change, doesn't it? This is just another change, but I do need to wrap my head around it."
She did laugh a bit at the comment about bleeding for weeks. "I promise you didn't miss out on anything by skipping that part," she said. "I wish I could have skipped that."
