The room was thick with tension and unexpressed feelings. Richard was shocked at the revelations being made. His mum had almost fainted on sighting her friend from the past and would have bolted out the door if Harold hadn’t reached out his hand to hold her in place and guide her to the closest seat
‘Wh-at is going on here H-harold? How d-did you find us?’ Emmanuella breathed out, unable to look at her son, turning slightly to block him out of her view as he looked on incredulously at the scene before him
Harold sighed and shook his head ‘Why did you run away Emma? Why did you not come to me if there was a problem and I would have helped you handle your husband, make him see reason’ Harold said, his eyes shining with emotion
Emmanuella and Harold were friends ever before she married Joe
