" she responded "I've arranged to stay with a friend of mine who lives just round the corner from here, we can go home together."I breathed a sigh of ...elief, there was still a chance that I'd get to the note before my daughter did. For the rest of the visit my daughter tried to perk me up, but I had to fake it and I think she sensed this.Four days later I was packed off home with June hovering over me in the ambulance like a mother hen, she was a lovely girl, but she had two major faults, she. Her body was shivering. Her woolen clothes were not enough to prevent her from that cold. She said, ” I am not feeling well. I am freezing”.

Claire took three sets of work clothes and, of course, her running gear. She threw in some casual clothes to wear around Cindy's house, and a pair of flannel pajamas she had found in the lower drawer of her dresser, but had not yet worn.Cindy welcomed her effusively, and with empathy, obviously looking her over for any signs that John had gotten physical."I'm fine," said Claire.
