The Bright Years

When Jet receives her acceptance to nursing school, she texts an overjoyed Shauna. An hour later, Shauna brings over an envelope for Jet, who opens it to find money from Michael for her schooling. She is overwhelmed by the generosity. She also texts Davis, checking in, and reminds him that he and his family can visit any time.

Jet did not tell Elise about Davis until after they met. When she did, Elise was shocked, sure that Lillian would have told her. When Elise offers to leave when Davis and his family come, Jet assures Elise that she is just as much a part of the family as anyone else.

Davis visits in February with his wife Bekah and two kids, Liam and Marigold. Throughout the visit, Jet feels a connection growing between herself and Davis’s family, wondering if this is what it is like to have a family. Before they leave to visit Lillian’s grave, Jet watches Davis patiently tie Liam’s shoe and is amazed to see this man, who overcomes the pain in his life and becomes a loving and caring man.
