Behind Closed Doors
“Merry Maids cleaned the house once every two weeks, but this didn’t happen to be one of them. She’d thought about increasing the number of visits, but right now, that didn’t seem logical, with John gambling the way he was. The budget was tight enough, and all she’d be doing was making things harder for herself in the long run.
She sat down on the bed and wondered if he’d gone to that meeting last night like he’d promised. He hadn’t gone any other nights during the week, but that was her fault. ...She’d allowed him to sleep over Monday through Thursday, and it was obvious that he no longer saw an incentive to go. The man had gotten too comfortable for his own good, which is why she’d had to put her foot down when she’d spoken to him yesterday afternoon: No more sleepovers until he was consistently going to those Gamblers Anonymous meetings.
She hated to call his mother’s house, but she needed to know if he’d done what he was supposed to. She dialed the number without even thinking about it.MoreLess
