The cottage needed some work which Tasha was grateful for as the worked helped her take her mind off things. It gave her the opportunity to make repairs to the cottage and fix it up. As a POW she mastered construction, remolding, and woodwork. When she needed to visit the local Lowes, Home Depot, or do some grocery shopping she only left the confines of her home at night. She had no phone, computer, or radio. The only source of entertainment she had were some books she had been longing to read and the the local newspaper that was delivered daily. Tasha decided to utilize the acres of her property by starting a vegetable garden and flower bed.

Tasha only had three frequent visitors Angelica, Papi, and a stray tan Labrador dog she named Winterfell. She didn’t know if Winterfell had any owners but he would always spend the days hanging around Tasha while she worked on the cottage or tended to yard work. She feed him and gave him baths. He took to her and she took to him. The more time they spent with one another he became extremely protective of Tasha. The first few visits Angelica took to Tashas house Winterfell wasn’t too fond of Angelica. That changed one day when Tasha broke down in the garden and Angelica wrapped her arms around her consoling her. Winterfell sensing the genuine love Angelica had for Tasha ran over and placed his paws on Angelicas shoulders and then began playfully licking her in the face. Since then whenever Angelica would visit he would always greet her in the same manner. Every day just before the sun would set he would run off and she wouldn’t see him again until the following morning. She didn’t mind she was thankful for the company.

At the Planet Shane, Max, Helena, Tina, Bette, and Kit are having dinner together. The mood is a somber one. They weren’t mad or upset with one another, however the events that had taken place in the last few months there was really nothing to laugh or smile about.

Taking a sip of her New England Clam Chowder Helena looks at Kit, “How is Angelica doing?”

“She’s doing well I talked with her a few days ago.”
