One. [[closed to friends]]
Juliet really can't believe that a year - an entire year - has gone by this fast. It's been up and down, up mostly because of Jonah. The universe, she's almost convinced, has a thing againt her. Dying really should have been enough. Losing James once should have been enough. But now she's lost him twice, and she knows that the only reason she's been able to pretend she's fine, is thanks to Jonah. But knowing that her son will probably never know his father breaks her heart. Thinking that James might have gone home knowing that he has a son he can't see is even worse.
All of this has served to keep her less personable than usual, though she's still smiling. There's just a quiet sadness that she can't quite shake. While Jonah's playing on the floor and pulls himself up to a standing position, looking at her with his dimpled smile, he looks so much like James, like a little man, that she has to get up. While there are plenty of adults to watch him, she excuses herself to get the cake ready, taking a minute to collect herself, closing her eyes tightly.
(ooc: Jonah, for reference. Also, please note that she's melancholy, just trying to fake it 'til she makes it.)
