story completely.
In the next episode of Twenty Four Weeks…
Judd talks about how he dealt with their miscarriage…
“Well, I’ve been told I’m a little closed off.”
She gives off a little hum like she’s agreeing, because she is. She’s accused me of that before.
I keep going: “So I’m learning to get in touch with my feelings.”
“I love how you felt when we first met.”
I laugh. “You can still get me to feel that way, you know?”
“I can?”
“Like what I’m feeling now.”
She smiles. “You know what they’re doing, don’t you?”
“Grant and Mary? Oh, yeah. Is it working?”

“I want you to come home,” Quinn tells me, “but I want you to want it.”
“I want it,” I tell her. “But...” I can’t say that I need to be alone to think. When I’m with her all reason goes out the window. Maybe that’s what I need. Maybe I need to stop thinking so much and act with the heart. I don’t know.
“I know,” she says. “There’s too much going on in your head. You need your space. I can be patient with you, if you can with me. I’m going to act a little crazy from time to time.”
“I just don’t want to rush things,” I tell her. “We’re doing so well, but you know, I keep expecting something to go wrong. So, I hold back. I know it’s wrong, but I do. There is so much we need to sort through. I just don’t know where to start.”

“You’re still not living under the same roof?” Mary asks.
Quinn shakes her head. “No,” she says quietly. “I’ve asked him to come home, but I don’t think he’s ready.”
“Judd,” Mary says to me, “you need to know that’s okay. Everything in its own time. It sounds like Quinn has accepted that.”
“She has,” I say.
---
“So Judd, when do you see you two drifting apart?”
I shift uncomfortably in my chair. “I guess when we lost our baby.”
“Quinn told me you lost him at eight months.”
“Yeah.”
“Losing a baby like that is very hard. How did you handle that?”
I look at her grimly. “I’d like to say well, and I thought I did at the time, but I’ve given it some thought and I don’t think I did handle it very well at all.”
“How did you handle it? What did you do?”
“I was worried about Quinn, she was crying and I wanted to help her. I guess I thought another baby might make her feel better.”
---
“That’s not how it happened,” I snap at her. “You’re exaggerating.”
“I’m not.”
---
“Quinn?” I say to her.
“Hmmm,” she murmurs back. She’s looking out the window and there’s a slight smile on her lips and I love her when she’s staring into space and I want to know what she’s thinking.
“I know I’ve said I’m sorry, but I think I need to keep saying it,” I tell her.
She looks at me. Her expression has not changed.
“You don’t,” she tells me.
“I know, but I want to. I have to say this.”
