Wakefield College 01 - Where It May Lead
“His father would have expected him to take care of his mother.
Dad would be disappointed in him, Troy knew. Even shocked because his adult son, the cop, had been too busy sulking to think about what Mom was feeling. Suffering.
Troy was ashamed to admit it had been all about him. His way of handling grief was to ignore it. But she’d become lost in it. He had to wonder, in retrospect, if he hadn’t been oblivious to what was happening with Mom because he’d become impatient with her. She’s ...getting groceries delivered now? Great. One less thing I have to do. How else could he have missed seeing something so obvious?
How long had it been since she’d stepped foot off her property?
Three months? Six? Since Dad’s funeral? Troy didn’t know.
He rang the doorbell and waited on the doorstep, uneasy. How often did Mom even see other people? Talk to them?
She could have a heart attack herself—she could kill herself—and no one would notice for one hell of a long time.MoreLess
