    Summary

    He misses them all so much.

    The children's laughter, Penelope's smile.

    The simple warmth brought about from basking in their love every single morning.

    But Colin knows they're in a better place now.

    It's all for the best, he tells himself for the hundredth time, wiping his face once more. He restarts his work and tries to focus, tries not to get distracted, but he knows even if he manages to do so now, when he lays down this evening, his mind will be swirling with thoughts of them before he slips off into dreamland.

    All he can do is hope he can find the strength to get up tomorrow.

    The sequel to penelope, plain and small.
