Re: Nish/Jocelyn - by the pool ~7:30
Jocelyn reached out with one arm and hugged Nishka. "I'm glad you had someone there with you. I know it's tough."
It should have been you... she thought to herself. For a few years after Heather's death, Jocelyn had made sure to spend time with or call her honorary big sister, but as they both grew up and went their separate ways, they had lost touch, and on the years she did remember the date, it seemed too awkward to call just because of the anniversary.
She froze suddenly, then facepalmed. "Oh crap...I'm such an ass. I forgot your birthday, didn't I?"
