Chapter 53
And life kept happening.
Two weeks later, Ceara and Jessie were on a tourist boat to the Isle of Anglesey. Rick and Reena had been so thrilled Jessie wanted to go to college they'd decided not to press her into finishing out her rehab stint, and instead paid her for the work she'd been doing at the Inn.
In Wales, Ceara had cried for happiness, sadness, for memories of a time that had no resemblance to her own. It took her a day just to ride the rollercoaster of emotions that went with a homecoming such as this. When she was finally over the emotional tilt of it all, she changed into her tour guide hat and explained all of the landmarks and history she knew by heart. If it were possible, she was even more animated than ever, and she and Jessie grew closer than either had ever imagined.
