21. He Was My Love and Wake Up Call

Time Period: A Flashback

Event: Jabez's funeral

Situation: Kelly is doing an eulogy for Jabez

Kelly's p.o.v

Fighting back tears, I approach the podium. I long to mourn for my son Jabez in peace and quiet.

I wish I could go home and cry myself to sleep. Jabez chose me among all people to eulogize

him. I can't let him down. "Jabez was an unexpected miracle. He was my love and wake up call"

I begin and end abruptly in tears. I run out of the church. Dylan chases after me outside. I fall

apart in his arms. Quietly and carefully, he puts the pieces of my broken heart back together.

Hand in hand, he escorts me back to my pew in the church. The congregation pay us no attention.
