Josephine Underwood awoke to the sound of a dog barking. "Joey honey,
they're here," Lucy called. Joey got up and threw on a pair of jeans and a
flannel shirt.
"C'mon Joey," Larry, her twin brother said before walking into the living room. She followed slowly. Stuart and Fran Redman were talking to Lucy. They turned as Joey and her brother walked into the room. Stu looked at Larry.
"You look just like your father," he said softly.
"Thank you," Larry said. Leo came in helping Peter and Joshua carry the bags. The adults sat down deep in conversation.
Lucy tore herself away from the conversation enough to say: "Maybe you kids should go outside." Joey understood that this was half request and half command. The five of them went outside. They walked to a RV. The boys sat down. Joey kept walking. She had no intention of spending the day with them. She walked into the woods and stopped at a small creek. Joey lied down and starred at the blue sky. She lied there until sleep over took her.
