ARE THEY SERVING CAKE WHERE WE’RE GOING? - TWWW PART 9

Barry was surprised to see Lynn sitting with Ramona when they returned. He thought maybe Lynn was realizing they weren’t in a position to be judging anyone. Pastor Lincoln walked in a few feet behind. He watched closely his foot steps, first his left then his right, trying desperately not to think about anything in particular.

“Lynn, are you ready to go?” Barry asked. She mouthed to Ramona to give her a minute then placed her hand on Ramona’s forearm as a gesture of comfort. Lynne took Barry aside: “Do you mind if Ramona and her son go with us up to Fresno? Her ex lives in San Francisco, which isn’t that far from my parents; she thinks he will help them. I was hoping we could drop her off or something…make sure they’re ok.”

Barry smiled; it was unlike Lynn to open up to someone so quickly. He was glad to see this situation bringing out the best in her. “Sure. That’s a good idea,” he replied.
