"Right glad yer alright, luvvie," I say instead. "A lot's 'appened since you've bin gone."
"Yeah." I sniffle and wipe my eyes more, then snuggle back up to Hope. Kinda want to talk about it more, but kinda glad I don't have to say nothin' else. I reach behind 'em so's I can put my hand on Faith's shoulder, too. Just like I always done…
"I missed a lotta stuff. I feel like…don't 'member his name, but that fella in the story that Sadie told that one time? The one who fell asleep and woke up and it was twenty years later, but he thought it was the next mornin'?"

I nod, real slow, tryin' to get my head 'round it all. Glad they done it themselves, 'stead o'havin someone else do it to 'em when they didn't want to. "You saw Management?" I say, starin' at 'em both. "Like, really saw 'em? What're they like? Momma wouldn't never say! And…um…are you okay with it? How it turned out, I mean?"
