Tobias was plodding through the words in a low, monotonous voice. He glanced sideways. Then focused on the hymn again.

When it was over, they sat down, and there was a Bible passage read. Tobias found it hard to concentrate. It had been such a chaotic week, and his mind was still at home, wondering whether his wife would ever be normal, and how they were going to raise a child together. He didn't notice it when the reading turned into a sermon. He sat entangling and disentangling his fingers while looking at them.
