Society
Traci and Lily meet for lunch. Traci says she follows Lily’s kids on social media, and they’re brave and confident. Her daughter, Colleen, would have loved Lily’s kids.
Lily agrees. She hopes it’s not too painful to talk about Colleen.
Traci says she doesn’t get to talk about Colleen enough, and she’s grateful to have had her in her life, even though it was so brief. Children are precious!
Lily sighs. Her kids won’t even come home for Christmas. She thinks it has to do with Cane.
