Chapter 589 Lust & Found:>77
- "Mom liked her job at the college; she was good at it. She stayed in Springfield during the week, and Aunt Stella looked after me, and Mom would come home Friday afternoon. She'd pick me up from school and we'd go off and do stuff, have some real family fun all weekend, and she'd go back Sunday night."
- Luna looked down at the little boy, stroking his hair absently as she looked back over the years.
- "I asked her one time why I couldn't live with her in Springfield, seein' as she had a place there and all, but she just told me 'no' and never said why; I just got the feelin' that for some reason she really didn't want me livin' or bein' in Springfield. She wouldn't even take me shopping there; instead she used to take me all the way over to Gainesboro, or even Monte Diablo, more'n three hours Southwest of Holden's Crossing, rather than take me into Springfield."
