Geoffrey reached for a cigarette but stopped, remembering how Maureen had recoiled from the smell when he held her days earlier, visibly nauseated.

“She should be over it by now?”

Geoffrey questioned Wayne.

Wayne was at a loss, unsure how to respond.

How would he know if Maureen still held a grudge?

Besides, Geoffrey’s mistreatment of her spanned years–how could a few gifts make up for years of mistreatment?

When Wayne remained silent, Geoffrey took it as confirmation.

Finally, night arrived. Seeing the lights off in Maureen’s room, he didn’t use a key but climbed over the balcony instead.

Maureen slept fitfully. Pregnancy, the stress of being away, and separation from Steven and Jacob gave her constant nightmares.
