An uncomfortable
silence filled the room and surrounded them for what seemed like an
age. Then George shifted in his chair a bit and his low tones cut the
air.
“Listen Beth, I
appreciate you coming to see me so much and to ask for advice. I've
always been fond of you, and as for your husband, that son of mine,
I've loved him since the moment he was born. Always have, always
will, despite everything.
Why don't I make us
some coffee, we'll think this through rationally and try and make
sense of the situation. After all, you don't want to go home tearful,
and breathing alcohol over Chloe. Where is she right now?
Beth glanced at the
clock over the mantel. “She's at a friend's house this afternoon.
Yes, Ihave time for a coffee before I go, thank you for your kindness
and understanding.”
It seems they've made a good start at a reconciliation.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, thanks for your comment Ed
DeleteThey both seem to be reasonable adults. Good for them.

DeleteSuper, snippet, Naomi. I wonder what George can do to help?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim
DeleteIs it kindness? Sounds harsh to me. Hope he can help.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Angelica
DeleteNice exchange...hopefully the start of better terms between them.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. Thanks for commenting
DeleteI missed earlier snippets, so I assume that Beth didn't get on with her father-in-law previously, from the comments above. Clearly he is trying to help smooth things between Beth and his son...or is he? Look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel
DeleteGeorge seems like a very nice person, so I wonder what caused the rift?
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Christina
DeleteI sense some good healing coming on. Nice scene, Naomi!
ReplyDeleteSounds like they're getting along now. Wonder what went on before. Nice snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane
DeleteIt is nice they are getting along.I do hope they find a solution or a way to get through the situation.
