Jan waited downstairs for Elizabeth, who was upstairs returning a call to her friend Stephanie.
She’d been staying with Jan for the last two days since the alarm installation was taking longer than expected. Windows weren’t cooperating, and bushes and trees had to be trimmed. There was even some problem in the attic. Every delay seemed to put Chris more on edge. He’d taken to only going into work in the mornings and bringing a stack of paperwork home with him every afternoon.
In some ways, Jan was glad for the delay, even with the way Chris was acting. It had been a long time since she’d had someone living with her, and she’d missed the companionship. Elizabeth was a gem, the ideal roommate. And she was perfect for Chris. He was just being stubborn as usual and refused to see it.
