The Promise
“Conall’s home was luxurious, spacious, and decorated with discriminating, exquisite taste. He had given her a suite down the hall from his. Over the months, she had added her own touches to the elegantly furnished rooms. Several newly purchased Hummel children graced the mantel. A stained glass bluebird hung in one of the windows. Pink and blue yam filled a wicker basket. Lately the blue yam had started to dominate. And in her bedroom, the cradle she had bought in San Diego had been assembled a...nd stood waiting.
Though she was living in Conall’s house, she rarely saw him for any length of time. He left early in the morning and came home late at night.
But he made it a point to talk to her every day, either in person or by phone from his office. He always asked the same questions: How was she? Did she need anything? She always gave him the same reply. She was fine, and no, she didn’t need a thing.
Though on the surface it seemed they kept in close contact, the truth was they were never with each other.MoreLess
