“Yikes…” Madame Russell’s expression was solemn. “I heard him speaking on the phone with an anxious tone. Do you think something bad has happened?”
“No.” Deirdre comforted Madame Russell by saying, “Tobey sounded anxious because he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to catch the last bus. There’s no airport here. However, I believe the matter is not dire because Tobey said he will be back when he is done handling the matter.”
“Great then.” Madame Russell cracked a smile. She asked mysteriously while she held Deirdre’s hand to walk home, “How was it? How was the performance?”
“It was rather impressive,” Deirdre answered with her head lowered. In reality, she had only listened to the performance's first half.
“How about Tobey and you?”
“Huh?” Deirdre was caught off guard. “What about Tobey and me?”
Madame Russell smiled mischievously. “Tobey reminded me to take good care of you repeatedly when he called me before he left. He was having such a hard time parting with you that he wished to take you with him. I’m his mother, so I can most certainly tell how he feels. Tobey still has feelings for you.”
Deirdre’s head was in a chaotic mess. She said with her head lowered, “I… Madame Russell, please hold on first and let me think about it.”
“Sure, sure, sure!” Madame Russell’s eyes lit up, and she was beaming widely. She held Deirdre’s hands tightly and said, “Think about it, think about it! Don’t worry. I’ll still be your family regardless, and so is Tobey! You don’t need to feel burdened!”
Deirdre smiled with great effort as her heart was overwhelmed with emotions.
Too many events had transpired today, and she was having a hard time taking it in, especially the man who was like Brendan. His appearance was a crushing blow to Deirdre.
She began to wonder what she would do if Brendan discovered her whereabouts.
The drowning incident had not been flawlessly executed.
She could only calm herself with great effort after taking a shower. She lay on the bed and began to think that she could not continue doing this anymore. She would have to tidy up the yard sooner so she could leave at any moment when her mother had a complete resting spot.
