He snuggled into her, closing his eyes.

Cecilie held him close, her heart aching. She kissed his head.

Cecilie held him. After she was sure he was asleep, she picked up the phone and called Kris.

Kris was in the kitchen, looking for something to make later. "Hello," she answered when her phone rang.

"Kris, Jack is gone," Cecilie said miserably.

(Should Luke be called in too?)

[bibliophile;]

>>If you want, but not at the same time as Jack. Maybe about a week after Jack left, Luke gets his letter.<<

"What do you mean?" she asked.

[twofrogsinacoat]

(Your choice. (: I'm good with anything.)

"The army called him back. He's gone," Cecilie whimpered. "He left today, just minutes ago. I won't see him for another six months to a year, at best." Tears formed in her eyes again. "What do I do?"

[bibliophile;]

>>Have him get his letter now.<<

Kristyna sighed. "He'll be alright, everything will be," she said. Her grandmother had seemed to get better in the past month, so she would consider flying out to help Cecilie.

(Okay!)

Luke walked into the house slowly, staring down at an envelope with his name on it. It was sealed with the army's symbol, which could only mean bad news. He set the rest of the mail down on the kitchen table and opened the envelope. He read over it slowly, his heart sinking. Exactly what he'd thought. "Kris?" he called hesitantly.

Cecilie whimpered. "I already miss him, Kris. How am I going to take care of four kids on my own?"
