Missy....Violet....(and Carmine)....

Carmine RUSHED into the supermarket,
seeing Missy and the beautiful little girl just standing there,
FROZEN in the aisle...
There was something SO POIGNANT, almost SHOCKING,
 about the sight of these two....
clinging to one another....desperately....
She was quite taken aback actually....
"OK"....
"First things first", she told herself,
fully detaching from the emotions that had so overwhelmed her ...
Missy was relieved, to say the least, to see her dear friend and lawyer arrive...
This was TOO MUCH to handle on her own....
Violet had fallen asleep in Missy's arms....
exhausted,,,,
Missy looked at the tear stained, little face....
in the beautiful, pink sweater....
Her heart skipped a beat...literally....
What was going on here ?
Was she dreaming ??
