"Mama, they're losing."
Kerry gave Henry a one armed hug, then went back to packing the books in a box. They had so many books. So many books, and, the so many that were left were after she and Henry, with a little help from Leonora had gone through them all and gotten rid of a good portion of them. "Sometimes we lose. Personally, or the teams we root for. There's always next season..."
Henry sighed, then smiled, "But, they haven't lost yet."
"Nope, they haven't." Kerry's computer dinged, "Keep packing young man."
Henry rolled his eyes, "Duh Mama, of course I will. I totally want to go home."
Kerry smiled as she moved her mouse and Abby's face came up on the computer. "Abby. What's wrong?"
Abby shook her head, "Nothing. Kim's fine. I spoke to a lady named Roberta. I guess that Kim left town for a bit. Visiting college friends in Boston and New York. Kerry."
Kerry shook her head, "It was... just a feeling. A bad feeling, but thank you for checking."
"Of course. Looks like packing is going well."
Henry spoke up from his box of books, "I'm helping. Leonora isn't..."
Kerry smiled as Abby laughed at Henry interjection, "Give Joe our best."
"I will. See you soon Kerry."
Henry came up to Kerry, "Mama."
"Son."
Henry hugged Kerry around the waist. "I love you."
Kerry smiled and hugged him back, "Let's take a break. Get your sister. We'll go get some ice cream."
Henry started towards his sister's room, then turned back towards Kerry, "If I say I really, really love you then may I have sprinkles?"
Kerry narrowed her eyes at him, "You think you're funny huh..."
"Heeee-larious is what Uncle Carlos calls me. I'll get Lee."
Kerry closed the laptop and put a hand to her forehead, "She's not your problem Kerry Weaver. You have enough on your plate without her. Leave her be..." A yell of happiness came from Leonora's bedroom and Kerry smiled to herself, "Count my blessings and be happy. Last time she threw you into the tornado... Stay in the basement this time Kerry."
Leonora came rushing into the living room, her hair mussed with a big smile on her face, "Mama, ice cream?"
