This one's really short, sorry!

Chapter 2

Work was slow the next day. It was filled with paperwork, a brief meeting to discuss the changes that would be occurring in preparation for the government sequester (which nearly put JJ to sleep), and the team members picking fun at each other. JJ had little to do, and she was home by 5:20 PM.

JJ went downstairs to grab her favorite oversized sweater out of the dryer, happy to be surrounded by its overwhelming warmth, which greatly contrasted the unnaturally cold Virginian October. Henry was sitting in front of the TV in the family room off the kitchen, so she decided to grab a book and sit on the couch and unwind, letting the laughter coming from the cartoons and her son's soft giggles be her background noise as she slipped into the story, letting time pass as she didn't have a care in the world because, in that moment, it was just her, her book, and Henry.

Will came home a little over an hour later, and he joined JJ on the couch for a few moments before saying to no one in particular, "Let's watch a movie." Henry picked out his favorite Harry Potter movie and they all gathered on the couch under a warm, fuzzy plush blanket as they were taken into a world of magic and mystery.
