Part 21

Charlie handed Charlotte a cup of coffee. "I hear congratulations are in order. It's decaf."

Charlotte let out a soft laugh. Leave it to Charlie to find the bright side. But isn't that what a sponsor does? Don't they point out the good things and put the focus on the moment? Her husband was her life, and she owed her life to this man. And for this moment he wasn't drinking. She would take this moment.

After taking a long sip she said, "Thank you." And not so much for the coffee, which was at best hours old and burned hospital issue, but for being there for Sam, for her, and for Jenny.
