Bridget arrived late and kept herself back, though she watched with a quiet peace that held no resentment. It had crossed her mind a few times lately and she’d been ruminating on it, the idea that maybe her future lay elsewhere. This family felt like it could be hers, but it also in so many ways felt like it was doing fine without her. And perhaps there was a place out there that would hold some level of happiness for her.
