The Messenger (2011 Reformat)
“You're a big girl. Stop acting like a jilted teeny-bopper.
It was easier said than done, though. Since her visit to the police station, she tried to keep her mind blank. Tried but failed. It had been a bad day overall-the Martin Parkins problem, Dhevic showing up, and next, Steve with another woman. No, blanking her mind was a cop-out. Jane knew she had to face the reality, she just didn't want to right now.
At the end of her shift, she drove home in a gray daze. Paranoia kept forcing her eyes ...to the rearview mirror, afraid that she would see Martin's Ford Escort behind her, but then she would continuously remind herself that the police had towed the car away to the impound lot. Kevin and Jennifer knew something was wrong; they could tell the minute she got home, but Jane smiled it off with a fake smile that hurt.
A quiet dinner with the kids, then they were off to watch television. When the phone rang at about 7 pm., Jane lurched-nearly dropping the plate she was putting in the dishwasher.MoreLess
