The Staying Kind
“The words hit Travis like a block of steel right in the gut. Tina’s mother waited on the other end of the phone for him to say something. Anything. “She was there when the girls went to bed, right? When was that?”
“About midnight. George had to shush them, they were laughing so hard. Oh, Travis, I feel awful. If anything happens . . . oh, oh, wait. Here she is, coming in from outside.”
Although the steel block suddenly disappeared, he still felt ill. What in the world was Jessa thinking...? That no one would discover these little forays? How long had she been sneaking out?
“I’ll be over to pick her up in a half hour. I’m very sorry, Paula. I can’t believe she’d take advantage of your hospitality like this.”

Travis thanked her and hung up the phone.MoreLess
