CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Relaxing on the sofa with her legs tucked underneath her, Polly waited for Henry to get out of the shower. He'd called his mother and learned that they were planning to visit Sam and Jean Gardner this evening. Polly felt much better about having a last name to go with the couple she'd grown to know this last year. She wasn't sure how she possibly could have rectified that oversight without embarrassing herself or them.

After visiting her mother in the hospital in Boone, Rebecca went out to Eliseo's with Sylvie and Andrew for the night. Polly gave a slight smile. She really did enjoy being alone with Henry. Hopefully they wouldn't stay out too late tonight and have some time to themselves.

The last two days had flown by. Anthony Donovan hadn't shown up yet and it was driving Sylvie nuts. She jumped out of her skin every time someone startled her and looked up at every sound. After his short conversation with Andrew Monday night, there hadn't been another peep out of the man.

The conversation with Sylvie and Eliseo had been uncomfortable to say the least, but it was over and both of them had a better understanding of what had happened to Jason. Sylvie had scheduled a meeting with the school counselor once she calmed down. She wasn't sure what good it would do, but she would insist that documentation be entered into his file regarding the harassment he had suffered. Polly had no idea what was going to happen between Eliseo and Sylvie, but at least Sylvie wasn't fleeing from his home. That had to be positive. Either that, or she weighed the fear of her ex-husband against the fear of starting a new relationship and made a decision based on the lesser of two evils.

Polly sent a text and one more Facebook message to Jessie, wanting the girl to know that she was concerned. No response to any of it yet. That frustrated Polly to no end. If you're going to run away, just be up front about it and admit that you want something different than what you have. The other stuff was just idiocy.

"Dress up nice or dress up casual?" Henry asked.

Polly turned around. He was framed in the door in just his shorts.

"Um, skip the whole dressing thing completely and I'll call in sick?" she said.

He ducked behind the door and poked his head out. "You just want me for my body. I feel so objectified."

"Whatever. Dress nice casual. Your black jeans look good with a casual shirt."

"So you're not helping."

"Did you lose your head when we got married? I have to dress you now?" Polly shook her head. Sometimes men were just dopes.

"Should we take something with us?" he called out from the bedroom.

"Don't worry. I've got it covered."

"Wine?"

"I don't know if they drink or not. No, I'm taking a couple of Sycamore House t-shirts and a mason jar candle."

Henry walked out, fully dressed except for his shoes and socks and sat down on the couch.
