It was my last day in Austin. There was one last coffee at the Once Over, a boatload of tacos as an early lunch, a bit of a wander around the Herb Bar, and finally dinner with the lovely Kate Payne and her wife JoAnn.

When I got back to the Rose/Press house, Raina and Emmett were still up. I watched Em play with his magnatiles and then we headed to bed where I read a few books to the boy before he and Raina lay down.

I haven’t left quite yet and I already miss them.
