Yolanda bent down and picked up the shoes by the bed for Flora. Then she followed Flora out.

When they reached downstairs, Flora frowned, “Charles still not here?”

Yolanda thought, ‘Maybe he’s tangled up in Sophie’s sheets.’

Flora spun around, her voice sharp. “Why didn’t you come with him?”

“Granny, he’s swamped with work. I didn’t want to bug him about it,” Yolanda replied.
