Judgement By Fire
“Not that any great fuss was made. Lucy continued to closet herself in the separate studio as she toyed with ideas for her next book, while Paul followed his own interests.
The three of them came together over supper and spent the rest of the evening watching television or a movie with a bottle of good wine and occasionally a take-out pizza. The temporary calm was broken only on one occasion when Lauren had insisted, to Paul and Lucy’s horror, that she wanted to go to Stephen’s funeral service.
