"Good to see you, Ramona."

The boggan comes in and looks relieved at the warmth "Thank you, sir."

Frank comes back around, and heads them towards the Lodge. "Job went ok?"

"Yes sir." She says "They're not bad people. Daphne misses her mom, but who wouldn't? Junior is bouncing back better, all the gifts donated have made his week"

"Mm." He nods "Thank you. Any ideas on what might help Daphne?"

"She's 8, she misses her mom.." She ponders "She's afraid to be happy without her mothter, like it's a betrayal. I think she could use some friends"

"Did you get any sense off Junior? Other than the presents? He waved to me from the yard when I drove by."

"I think he might be a dreamer. He ttells stories about every toy. He knows his mom is dead... but he thinks shes an angel now wachin"

"Mm. Who's to say she isn't." Frank observes "Good to know. Think you'll work there again?"

"Probably, Dame Anne Marie asked me to"

"Family's in good hands then."

She beams "Thank you. " She ponders "Neither is in danger of being dream struck anytime soon"

"Good. How did Jeff Senior seem?"

"Utterly stunned at the life turn around... and he feels a bit guilty. Tree chopping and all"

"I think he wants to make a difference, pay it back or a least pay it forward."
