With the memory of last night still replaying happily in his mind, Peter rises from his bed and, after finding something suitable to wear so he doesn't permanently scar any of his children who might be up by now, he leaves the bedroom in search of breakfast. The house is still quiet, which these days means that Lydia and Anna are still asleep. At ( Read more... )

It has been a long day. Peter has welcomed a new person to his hospital and he has spent time with Deirdre who needed his presence in the wake of her pain over the disintegration of her marriage after only four hours.

After seeing Flynn standing over the bloodied corpse of his brother, Thomas and Spectre had wasted no time in getting their children away from Dublin, and guns in the night, and their dear friend Flynn. They fled to a seaside town also in Ireland. The town was called Dingle, which Thomas pretty much loved. They rented a sea side cabin about five ( Read more... )

Thanks to his new treatment, Peter was finding it easier and easier to sleep through the night.
