On Alert
Being a mother isn’t the sexiest job in the world. You’re tired all the time, there are messes to clean, and the children must be watched at all times. John was a desirable man. He was good-looking and successful. She saw the way other women looked at him. She tried to stay calm, but there was always a lingering doubt in her mind. Anna’s behavior put her on full alert mode. She was very wary.
Underhanded
Grace could tell that something was up tonight. Anna was behaving even more strangely than usual. Plus, she was wearing a very revealing black dress. Maybe she was going out to a club? Grace wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Everything was calm, but then she saw Anna put her hand on John’s arm, and Grace knew that something was going on now. She had to get to the bottom of this.
