The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth

... options swung wildly around the spectrum. Should she call the police and tell them about the garage door opening; clear evidence Dave was stalking her? At least in gaol he would get three meals a day. No, she couldn't do that. By dawn, another compromise plan was the decision.

Although not specifically mentioned by Dave yesterday, she knew his biggest stressor had to be not seeing his children. If she could change that, then he might recover to the point, in the short term, that once the dust had settled, he could make a full comeback. Seeing his children meant lifting the restraining order, but how could she convince Peter to allow that without revealing her secret mission of Thursday?

Saturday morning, she woke Peter at 7:00 a.m. and laid it on thick about allowing Dave access to his children. It fell on deaf ears.
