“Come on, honey,” Laura whispered into Don’s ear, tugging at his arm.
Don gave a little embarrassed laugh, largely for the benefit of the children who were sitting directly across from them. He and Laura had just returned from ten days honeymoon in Mexico, and somehow, he wanted to reassure the children … Laura’s children really, that he’d be a good father to them. He wasn’t quite sure how to go about the whole thing, but he was determined to try.
“Tell us more about Mexico, Don!” MaryAnn piped up, her bright eyes scanning her new stepfather’s face for some indication of how it would be to live with him.
Rick meanwhile, sat watching his mother. It seemed odd to him that she’d hardly kissed him hello and now, she wasn’t really paying any attention to them, but kept looking at Don with that strange expression. He’d never seen his mother with such a queer look on her face! It made him very uncomfortable, and he wished they would leave, since that seemed to be what his mother wanted to do.
