Chapter 1663

Lizzy perched on her mom's lap, one tiny hand wrapped around her own little toes, the other thumb stuck firmly in her mouth.

Her dad tried to hand her a teether, but she just turned her head away and snuggled deeper into her mom's arms. Her eyelids drooped sleepily as she settled

Later that afternoon, the four adults and one baby girl wandered through the streets of Newtown together.

The midday sun was blazing, and when Lizzy woke from her nap, she burst into tears and wouldn't stop crying. Annie tried to comfort her for what felt like ages before finally handing her over to her husband. "Here you go-take your daughter out for a stroll."
