Right on cue, Peggy comes into the room, cradling a deeply sleeping Josephine. Sarah and Rosalie fall silent instantly as their mother walks over to the youngest daughter's bed, tucking her in. She kisses Josephine atop the head, then walks over to Rosalie's bed.

Quietly, she says, "I see you didn't get any reading done," and then leans over to kiss Rosalie good night. Listening from outside the hall? Why, of course she was.

Rosalie smiles with over-the-top innocence, beaming at the kiss and leaning up to give one in return before burrowing back into the blankets. Sarah waits expectantly as Peggy moves over to repeat the goodnight process. As she leans over, Sarah whispers, "I love you, mama," and Peggy smiles softly.

"I love you, too," she whispers back.
