Ollie’s face morphed into an expression of concern. “Oh, you poor dear. Your brother was Jason LaChance? Such a nice young man. He and Sara were members of our church.” She clucked her tongue a few times.
Jenn nodded, wiping her eyes on the edge of the towel. “I just need to get through the next couple of days. I need to find the children.”
Ollie frowned. “The children? I understood a social worker had taken them to Amarillo.”
“Oh, great,” Jenn said. “I’m sure I won’t be able to find them until they open on Monday. Poor kids.”
“I’m going to the funeral… The whole town will be there. Everyone loved Jason and Sara.”
Jenn nodded. “I’m just going to dry my hair now and go to bed.”
“Yes. Yes, of course. You get some rest. I’ll see you tomorrow.” She patted Jenn’s damp shoulder and left the bathroom.
Jenn still felt more than a little shaky. “Tomorrow,” she whispered.
She wiped the steam off the mirror and peered at herself. Her eyes were red, but that was probably from the tears and getting no sleep. She slathered several layers of skin products on her face, neck, and body, hoping it would make up for her lack of rest.
She slipped her robe back on and tied the sash. Although she was twenty-six years old, she had never held a real job outside of academia, where she had acted as TA and tutor occasionally. She hoped to be able to get her butt in gear and find a job. Any job.
When she tiptoed across the hall to the room, she felt pleasantly relaxed. She locked the door behind her and let the robe slip to the floor before falling across the bed naked and instantly descending into a deep slumber with Minnie nestled against her side.
