I became a distant parent, doing my duty and nothing else.When Jake was fifteen, I started to notice how my eldest daughter Janet, fourteen at the tim..., was looking at him with something bordering on idol worship. Had I looked at George in that way later in our relationship? Had Jake been at his sister Janet turning her into some sexual toy to be used at his whim?I did not delve too deep, scared of what I may find, but the thought continued to terrify me; even to this day.What would I do if it. She said she'd been thinking of inviting a friend from work over to have dinner and a soak in our hot tub, "Would Friday or Saturday be better for you?" She asked."Tell me more about this friend." I said."Her name is Kelly and we went to school together. I haven't seen her in years but she's just started working with us. We were close in school so we have a lot to catch up on." I've got golf Saturday afternoon but maybe you two could have some time to catch up and I'll join you in the tub about. Julie had also tightened up the dues’ numbers and methodology regarding the monthly contributions to maintain the Circle for Ken’s unit.Also, at the board meeting, Dave raised the issue of another townhouse complex and several additional homes on the property the Circle owned. He spoke with some authority about the best locations for each kind of dwelling, the impact on the existing Circle, and how the Circle would handle the costs and timing of construction. A number of questions were raised. I tried to be patient, but I was getting worried that something had happened. I wanted to be next to him to comfort him; I wanted to see him smile again. Every day that I waited, my heart ached, so I decided to give him a surprise visit hoping that it will mend the broken connection between us. I was sure that he had a reason for not contacting me. I packed clothes for a three day visit, and drove for two hours just to go see him. I went to his house and asked for him but they had told me that.
