A Place Called Home
“He could sense her hesitation, that almost infinitesimal pause as she searched for a plausible excuse. Before she came up with one, he dangled the hook: “I’ve decided on a vehicle,” he said. Then he baited it. “I could use your help.”She bit and he felt guilty for about a nanosecond. He still didn’t know what had gone wrong last Sunday, but he could almost pinpoint the moment when things tanked. He hadn’t missed the look of panic in her eyes as she jumped up from the table at the restaurant and... disappeared into the restroom. The kids hadn’t thought there was anything odd about it, putting down the quick escape to a potty emergency. They were used to Grant waiting until the absolute last minute to announce he needed to go NOW, but Mitch doubted that Thea’s hasty retreat was prompted by anything so simple as a call of nature.When she returned to them, he sensed the change.
