’ Having never heard of Dr. Tumblety, I interrupted him, thinking to get him back on track. ‘Where is this going, Bill?’ He glared at me with so...much fire in his eyes that I was silenced for the next few minutes. ‘As I recall,’ he said, resuming his narrative. ‘It wuz the last day of August, we had left the ship in Liverpool and I found myself pacing up and down the lobby of our London hotel waiting for Tumblety to arrive while trying to quell a strangely exciting urge. Minutes earlier, my. Mona pointed out that the phone, email and the auto made further proximity silly." It's okay. I'm on edge too." So, what did you call about?" I want two weeks leave." Don't you have any vacation? Use it!" Don't I need a reason?" Not to take accrued vacation. Anyway, where are you going?" Singapore. Michiko wants to visit her parents while we can still travel." Makes sense. When would you go?" As soon as we can. I'll check out the available flights this afternoon. Optimum would be to leave here. ’ I said pointing. ‘And another off my sister’s bedroom … down the hall on the right … I guess that one would be the best place to look.’ Harry left and returned a short while later carrying several items he must have found in the master bathroom. He went to the kitchen and filled a glass with water and returned. ‘Here, take these.’ He said, handing me two pills. ‘Ibuprofin.’ ‘Thank you, Dr. Harry.’ I said, taking the pills and placing them on my tongue. He gave me the water and I took a sip. "Hmm," dad mused. "Wonder why?" he said more to himself, before speaking directly to me. "Well, Darla's Kathy's daughter of course, she's currently attending a college a bit further North of here, has her own apartment that she shares with some room-mates, though she makes it down for a visit every other weekend or so, "he explained. "Anyway, we thought it would be nice for her to come down for a visit next weekend, finally meet you after you'd had a week to yourself settling in."At least Darla.
