... pick up so I can explain." Scott wasn't surprised to get a visit from Maureen. "Shannon is upset and you aren't answering your phone." "Like she answers hers you mean? You had better check that magazine on the table before you say anything more." Maureen looked at the photograph for an age, "These things can look worse than they are." "Which bit, the kiss or the hand holding? It's actually the second photograph that bothers me most, they aren't kissing but the look in her eyes, well I know that look and that's the killer. Be honest Maureen is she cheating on me?" "God no, she wouldn't. I'll go out tomorrow to see her and find out what's happening. "Suit yourself, I don't want to talk to her, this is just the final straw, she's been absent as a mother and wife for too long, I've had enough." "Don't do anything hasty Scott, I am sure there is an explanation."

Shannon spotted the look with dread, her mum stomped across to the wardrobes opening them to find a long rack of men's suits and other clothes. "What's going on Shannon?" Shannon groaned internally, "They are Claude's, it's his apartment, he left some things here." Maureen looked at her daughter, she spotted the lie and as direct as ever asked, "Are you living with him?" "No, he... he sometimes stays over." "Oh my God, you're having an affair." "No, it's just... its not an affair, it has nothing to do with Scott and my other life." "Your other life! Are you serious, you leave you husband and daughter for months on end whilst you carry on with some royal playboy." "Claude isn't like that." "Your protecting him... really! Don't you think your mind should be on your husband and saving your marriage." "Scott is fine, what he doesn't know won't hurt him. It's in hand, the contract ends in another two months anyway." Maureen slammed the magazine onto the coffee table, "He is far from fine, he is wondering why his wife is holding hands and kissing another man and what he did to deserve being deserted.
