"What's going on?" she asked, her voice still a touch raspy.

Everett couldn't resist glancing at her, his expression softening just a bit. With a laid-back tone, he said, "Easter's coming up soon, and this year's a bit different.

This year's insistence was likely due to Josh's nearing end, marking his final commemoration.
