It’s the end of the day for Joy and the end of a long dream for Justin. Justin rarely gets to tuck Joy in and tell her a story, but today he did.
Suzy and I sit in our living room when he walks in.
“Is she asleep?” Suzy asks.
He nods and sits on the sofa next to Suzy. I look at him from my Archie Bunker Chair.

“What the fuck is going on!” Angela demands from Justin.
“Angela, Angela, calm down,” I tell her.
“Dad, shut up!” Angela shouts at me. “Justin, your daughter stabbed Ethan! He turned to dust like a vampire! You high fived her! Justin!”
Justin is thinking. So much has happened.
“Your husband is a killer!” Joy shouts at Angela. Joy doesn’t need time to think. “I killed him like he deserved!”

“Let’s go,” Suzy tells me as soon as Justin takes our little granddaughter to her cabin to tell her a good night story.
For a change, Joy’s been up for quite a few hours before Justin arrived, which means she’s just tired enough for her father to put her to bed.
“Where are we going?”
“To talk to Justin,” she says.
We walk slowly up the ramp to the deck of Bonny’s Revenge. Master Mind is standing guard silently near the wheel. Justin is still in Joy’s cabin.

Even though we see Justin and Joy every day, we have begun this practice of the two of them coming to our house for a Saturday dinner. Just as if we were living next to each other in Toronto.
Justin and I play chess in the living room. Joy plays with some of Justin’s old toys, plays with Justin, and with Suzy.
Right now I’m sitting in my Archie Bunker chair while Justin sits on the sofa. Joy leaps at him, and he grabs her tightly.
“I gotcha!” he exclaims and she shrieks in happiness. “I gotcha and I’m never letting you go!”
Joy struggles in his arms. “I’m never ever ever letting you go!” he says as she struggles. He releases his hold just enough to allow her to escape.

“I think this is a dream, Sandra. I think this never happened.”
“What do you mean?”
“Joy, don’t you dare touch Luis!” Justin suddenly yells. I still refrain from looking up.
“As if I would ever touch him!” Joy answers quickly.
“What do you mean?” Sandra asks again.
