I picked up the phone as Betsy closed my office door and sat next to me.

Betsy pivoted around, wipeing her face, and hugged her.

I picked up the phone for my next chore as Betsy, with Molly in hand, peeked in my office.

Neither Betsy nor I liked chain fast food so I looked in the windows of the café we liked.

Bumpus woofed for attention so Molly paraded him, allowing me to catch Betsy up with what was happening.

Betsy and I moved away to give mother and daughter space.

Molly and Betsy elected to go home leaving me to mind the store and deal with Daniel Brennan's phone call without interruption.

Betsy was busy on her computer when I entered our kitchen the following morning.

Molly joined us, dressed in a new outfit Betsy purchased for her the prior day.

Betsy asked with a smile.

Betsy read a notice on the Internet a day later that the culprit was beaten and in serious condition, after allegedly resisting arrest.

Not so, between Betsy and Martha, according to my wife.

I called Betsy to let her know the news.

I hadn't a chance to fill Betsy in on my conversation Frank Vasapolli and was anxious to do so.

As soon as girl and pooch were out the door, Betsy had news, preempting my announcement.

Betsy, do you want to...

Betsy brushed her eyes.

I could hear Molly returning so Betsy offered no rebuttal.

Betsy gave Molly a hug.

Betsy rolled her eyes.

Betsy continued, trying to sound normal.

I filled Betsy in on the details of the prior evening with a rambling discourse.

The oven dinged and Betsy moved to the kitchen.

Betsy and I discussed who else to inform.

When Betsy mentioned telling the After people, a thought struck me that the death of Owen Bryce, once known to our friends at After would probably tie me directly to the tipster as well.

I looked around for Betsy.

Last night we ran a session on the little boy Betsy texted us about.

She seemed to understand and was off to walk Bumpus while I filled in Betsy on my conversation.

Betsy gently roused me from my nap for a late dinner.

Betsy said, alarm in her voice.

Betsy, it's after ten...

Perhaps it was best; hadn't Betsy and I made a similar decision to stop our activities only hours earlier?

Do you and Betsy?

According to Betsy, on the note Martha left, she said Quinn was coming back east to meet up with his wife and daughter and leave from here.

Betsy was taking a long time.

Betsy had driven our only car so I wasn't able to drive over there myself.

He picked up as Betsy came in the door.

I waved Betsy over and she snuggled next to me on the sofa.

I read Martha's note to us and brought Betsy up to date on my conversation with Julie.

I don't know if Betsy was becoming immune to alarming news or if her husband was paranoid.

Betsy remained down in the dumps over Martha's departure but per usual, she successfully researched the Internet and found directions to eight different camping parks in the area.

The look of shock on Betsy's face was immediately picked up by Molly and frightened the young girl.

Betsy opened her purse and complied before reaching back and taking Molly's hand.

We drove home with Betsy trying in vain to calm Molly down, telling her we weren't in any danger.

Betsy asked as we drove home to Surry.

I'd planned to wait until Betsy and Molly returned from walking Bumpus but I decided if I had to drive back into downtown Keene, I might as well swing by Wheelock Park Campground as it was on the way, at least sort-of.

Suddenly I remember Betsy and Molly were out walking Bumpus when I left the house!

Betsy said as I hugged them both.

Molly wanted to fix supper on her own which both Betsy and I were thankful to let happen.

I poured us a second glass of wine as Betsy leaned back and closed her eyes, finally relaxing.

Betsy agreed but suggested we wait until Molly finished her bath so she could speak with her mother first.

The pretty young girl materialized, hair wet and smiling, dressed in a new bathrobe Betsy had purchased.

She ran off to her room, with Betsy following her.

Betsy returned to the room and I held my hand over the phone and turned to her.

Betsy reluctantly took the phone.
