Jon and Beth look at one another as the story ends. Both are expressionless as they look at one another. Finally, Beth cracks a smile and says, "I hope this is it. I hope we can finally be left alone."
Beth is running around quickly throwing clothes in bags for all of the kids, doubling up things for the twins. Jon is saying goodbye to Savannah after he thanks her whole heartedly for coming out last minute to help them.
Savannah and her crew arrived just shorty before dusk. She hurried them around the back of the house and told them to set up. When she was satisfied that they knew what they were doing, she walked around to the front door where she was greeted by the dog.
They sat at the table together and ate in silence. Beth picked at her food, having no appetite what so ever, and Jon was feeling pretty much the same way.
