Sweet Rosie
“Sometimes Llinos thought he had taken her cutting words at face value and moved in with the other woman. She had tried to appease him and, on his brief visits home, to talk to him but nothing Llinos said or did made any difference to the way he behaved.
Llinos spent more time at home, leaving the pottery in Watt’s capable hands but even that seemed pointless now. She missed her work. At least it had helped to fill the days that were becoming increasingly empty without Joe. Even Charlotte was ru...nning out of excuses for her brother.
The evenings had fallen into a pattern: with Lloyd in bed, Llinos would sit with Charlotte sewing or drawing, both of them making desultory conversation avoiding the topic that was uppermost in both their minds. Llinos found it a strange life for a woman used to working and to sharing her life with her husband.
It was when Charlotte found Llinos crying one evening that she broached the subject of Joe’s strange behaviour. Even then, her words were guarded.MoreLess
