The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Francine shook her head helplessly. “I don’t know either…but it seems like Corinne planned her escape.”

“Escape? Why would she want to run away? Did we mistreat her?”

“I think she’s mad ’cause Jeremy kept her under house arrest…”

Greg frowned. “Just because of that? Who does she think she is? I forbid anyone to go look for her. Let’s see how long she can survive on her own outside.”

Pamela, who was clutching her chest weakly, sat up a little straighter when she heard what Greg said. “You old fool! What the heck are you talking about? Don’t you know Corinne doesn’t need us? She’ll never come back if we don’t look for her.”

Even though Greg looked a little worried, he stubbornly insisted on his standpoint. “Hmph! She can stay missing for all I care!”

Pamela was so worried that she could feel her heart thumping quickly and loudly. Tears started to flow down her cheek. “Have you forgotten she’s pregnant? What if something bad happens to her and the baby?” she said with a sigh.

Greg could not bear to see Pamela so sad, so he waved his hand to “Bring the old lady back to her room, and arrange for more people to look for Corinne.”
