Everyone Dies kk-8

“Tell him that,” Andy said.
“I plan to,” Kerney replied as he pulled himself out of the vehicle.
Over the next several weeks, life slowly returned to normal, helped along by the visit of Sara’s family, frequent phone calls back and forth with Clayton and Grace, and the calming effect of Patrick Brannon, who seemed, in ways Kerney couldn’t quite put into words, self-assured and contented, which of course made him all the more amazing.
After the family celebration ended and the relatives departed, Kerney and Sara filled their days with frequent picnics at the ranch to watch the new house go up, shopping for the items on Sara’s wish list, and staying close to home, due to Patrick’s insistence that he be fed every two hours and be allowed to sleep whenever he wanted. They coped with it by taking lots of catnaps and alternating feeding and diaper-changing shifts.
Determined to spend as much time as he could with Sara and Patrick, Kerney went on unpaid leave when his vacation time ran out, occasionally dropping by the office to deal with a few important matters, not the least of which was Sal Molina’s retirement party.
Arrangements had been made to visit Clayton and Grace on an upcoming weekend, so Kerney booked a suite at a resort lodge in Ruidoso and made reservations to take everyone out to dinner while they were there.
The night before they left, Sara snuggled up to him on the couch.
“You haven’t said a word about the fact that I have to report back for duty in two weeks,” she said.
“And I’m not going to,” Kerney said. “It’s not an issue anymore.”
“Why is that?”
“Because,” Kerney said, taking her hand in his, “I know without a doubt that nothing can break this family apart.”
