nor did i speak to rose during the whole affair . but i caught her looking at me . many times . i knew this because i had been looking at her .....
i seized paisge's hand , which was slickj with sweat ." how can i kill rose off , in my mind , i meant ? how can i stop her haunting this marriage ?"
paige sent me a look filled with pity ." i'm surprised at you . it's simple . just think of your children ."
i dug in my bag for the magazines . i had bought to amuse her and handed them over to paige ." is there anything i can do ?"
"linda is in charge , and martin takes over in the evening ."
paige frowned ." i have a funny feeling that linda is thinking of quitting , which she absolutely cannot do ." she bared her teeth ." if she does , i'll throw the book at her . being here is a big nuisance . i wanted to be at jackson's school play . i had planned a huge tea party with all the words and invited his teachers . this baby is not scheduled to arrive for two weeks . . i've been telling it off , very severely , and you know what ? it's not listening to me ." filaments of wool clung to the front ofg her nightdress , and picked them off and threw them away . " thanks ." she raised herself gingerly farther up the pillows and settled back with a tiny shriek ." ouch .that my sciatic nerve . martin's temper has not improved . he didn't really want this one . he says we won't have time to breath ." she raised her eyes to mine ." did i mention i tricked him into it ? it wasn't pretty , but it was the only way - " she was arrested midsentence ." it's starting to act up again ." she patted her stomach ." stop it ."
"paige , i'll drop over to the house and check things out . is there anything you would like ?"
