George
noticed the change in expression on Beth's face at the mention of
Jake's name again. Her smile disappeared and the sad face returned.
“Do
you feel able to tell me more about how Jake has upset you,?”
George felt slightly anxious and didn't want to upset Beth further.
He really felt for his daughter in law's upset..
“I
love Jake so much, don't get me wrong, your son is a wonderful
husband and father, he means the world to me."she said. "Recently, however, the
way he has become distant has troubled me. And then, this latest
occurrence threw me and made me feel cold to my very core. Beth
paused, and took another sip of her drink. Usually, when he has to go
away, he phones me from his hotel room. This time, however, he
didn't, so I phoned him, I knew the hotel and room number, but a woman answered."
Yikes! Bad news right away. Well done and a cliff hanger.

ReplyDeleteWe'll see, all will become clear
DeleteIt was the maid? Or a wrong number? Or he's undergoing a sex-change operation?
