It had only been a few weeks since Jimmy’s father had walked out of prison as a free man, and the days were flying by in a blissful blur. David had gotten his own apartment and found a job working part-time at the prison as a records coordinator. Cold was still promising him a new prisoner advocate’s position, but that was going to take time.

David didn’t mind waiting. Even from his current clerical position, he was finding ways to help out the prisoners and volunteered most of his free time there. Once he figured out his new smart phone, he texted and called Jimmy daily, and he seemed to be settling into his new life well.
