Obsession
“Or a bird.Like a typical cat, Peaches enjoyed going out at night. But usually first thing in the morning she was at the door, ready to come back inside.Not this morning.Frowning, I closed the front door, wondering where she could be. I ambled into the kitchen and poured water into the coffee carafe. My phone rang as I was doing so, and I quickly set down the carafe and snatched the receiver off the wall.“Hello?”“Hello, Sophie.”Caught off guard, it took me a moment to recognize the voice. But then I knew who it had to be.“Mom?”“Hello, darling.”I smiled, pleasantly surprised. With the stress of seeing Andrew last night, plus Marnie’s comments that I’d changed, it was nice to hear from someone who wasn’t enmeshed in my current relationship drama.“How are you, Mom?”“I’m doing well, thank you.”My mother lived in California with her new husband, and we didn’t speak all that often these days. We weren’t as close as I would have liked, because of the decisions she’d made.
