One Week in December (2012)
“It can get a little—close—with everyone at the house.”
James waited for a response from his wife, seated next to him in the passenger seat of their car. “Liv?” he said.
Olivia started, as if she had been a million miles away in her thoughts. “What?”
“Nothing. Just . . . Nothing.”
He had persuaded her to take a drive with him this afternoon. It had taken a good degree of coaxing, too. Olivia had been reluctant to leave the house and her hunting and cataloguing—or, was it that she’d been reluctan...t to spend time alone with her husband? James couldn’t dismiss the thought, not entirely. True, they spent much of every day together at the office, but there, talk was of business. Evenings were invariably spent at home, but for a long time now, there had been little real communication. Most nights Olivia bolted her dinner and headed off to her computer, where she spent hours reading through Web sites that focused on ancestor searches and family trees. Olivia had made it perfectly clear that she’d rather spend time e-mailing the strangers she met on those sites than watching television—or doing anything else—with her husband.MoreLess
