The Patterson Girls
“They were sitting in the waiting room at the local doctor’s surgery.
She gave her husband a smile and nodded. ‘Yep, I’m good.’ Truth was she felt nervous. Too nervous for conversation. She couldn’t even flick the pages of the six-month-old copy of New Idea in her lap because her hands were shaking and she was sitting on them so Joe wouldn’t notice. What if something was wrong? Maybe it would be better to know because then they could do something about it, but … what if nothing could be done?

Lucinda swallowed the irritation that rose within her at this gesture, as if he had some place else he’d rather be. Still, considering his reluctance to even solicit help until recently, she was grateful he was here.

Smiling at the attractive doctor, Joe practically sprang from his seat and then as an afterthought looked back to Lucinda.MoreLess
