Day Out (6)
Royston hesitated; the inner conflict with himself was quite obvious. He reached out his hand and then let it drop. He struggled with his emotions, not knowing what to do, yet fully knowing that she was out of his reach then. Meeting her that day had been really surprising as Royston was not yet ready for her.
"I-"
He ached to ask her the one question that he could not bear to hear the answer to.
The hidden reason behind why he had vaguely asked about her husband. This was because he was not in the position even to ask.
'Is he able to do his duty as a husband?'

She walked off with Suzie without a second glance. Even if Shelby had wanted to stay, she had started to feel a close sense of responsibility for the children.
Shelby was oblivious to the stream of gazes following her, but her friends were not.
