As Sidney sits in the car she observed Uncle Myles on his phone. Saying to him, "Thanks, Uncle Myles, I can't believe it, when you want a taxi, they are not any around."
"Child, it has so many vehicles in the yard, why do you keep travelling, if you have your driving license take one of the vehicles and use it." Noticed he making another phone call she stay quiet, but it seems the person is on another call hearing the busy tone.
When he did get through hearing him speak with Vince, "Son, Sidney is with me, so don't worry we will be home in a little while.'
Whispering silently, "Thank You, Lord, for sending help," knowing in the hurry to leave the house, the phone was in the work bag. But I wanted to think and needed some alone time, and my phone was always disturbing me.'
Sitting silently thinking, 'I must have slept for two hours and I still haven't come up with a plan or made a decision. Yet though matter where I sleep I keep dreaming of him. What could that mean when I know he loves Miss Chrystal although he told me he loves me.'
Noticing Uncle Myles glance at her she tries to focus on his words, but Vince was on her mind, 'He openly confesses his love to me, and thinking about that she decides to linger around for a few more days and see the movement, I haven't put everything in place yet so it won't make a difference.
I must see if he is telling me the truth or if it's just to stop me from leaving for grandpa's sake. I am ready to give him the benefit of the doubt. "Sidney, did you work late today child?"
"No Uncle, but I had to check something by the hall, so I get kept back."
"Is everything okay now?"
"Yes Uncle, everything is fine, I am just tired and thank God tomorrow is Saturday, I could sleep late."
Entering the house, hearing Chrystal saying loud enough so Uncle Myles could hear, "I can't believe some people could be so irresponsible."
'Oh God when did she return, she always seems to drop in when Vince and I want to take a step forward. Now instead of us moving forward, we might move two steps backwards.
Lord does the devil hate me so much, and why is it You allow all these troubles to follow me, this woman is like a thorn in my flesh.'
"Chrystal, has something happened?" Myles asks as he looks at her knowing she always making some sort of trouble for Sidney.
"Uncle, Vince was fretting for his wife, knowing what happen recently with the accident but she seems to be enjoying herself liming this hour, without thinking about who is worried about her."
"Chrystal, that's enough, if I didn't see Sidney she would still be waiting for a taxi, and she and Vince is none of your concern. I only hope you and Vanda have not rattled him up, because if Vince shouts after Sidney, I will personally deal with you two.
Now if you have nothing to do go to your own rooms before that rumour starts circulating in town. And Chrystal, GP was telling me something about that rumor, you really disappoint me."
'Oh dear, how did they know it was me that started that rumor when I made sure that it was Sidney that said it, did Vanda tell them, it was only she that knew but then she remembered the words Charles had refuted with a warning.
Looking at her, she seem unconcern about what Uncle Myles was saying, but since that episode, she has been distancing herself from me. Did GP warns her about something, is that why she has been ignoring me the entire evening.'
Saying to Uncle Myles knowing she didn't want to be locked out or discredited, "Uncle Miles, I had nothing to do with that?"
"Oh don't worry but know this, next time you do something so stupid again you will be out of here for good and there won't be anyone to help you."
Turning to Sidney, "Now Sidney, I want you to try and get some rest child, and I will send Molly up with a tray for you."
Whispering as she walks away slowly, "Lord, are you going to fight this battle for me? Thank You for putting Uncle Miles in place to help, and for soothing the heart of Vince."
While walking slowly up the stairs Sidney considers what her next move will be, hearing footsteps come running from behind her. "You finally reach home?" Vince said, Sidney could hear how happy his voice sounded.
Scooping her up in his arms, Vince looks at her face, thinking, 'She has loose some weight, when I carry her out from the forest that morning, she was much heavier.
Walking up the stairs, "Vince, what is going on?" Vanda questions angrily about the way he was behaving as though he is living in the house alone.
"I am taking my wife upstairs, can't you see that little sister?" Vince knew it was time that Chrystal see that he cares for Sidney, hoping she will take a hint and move on with her life.
"Are you crazy, don't you have any respect for the elders in the house, just suppose GP comes outside now and sees you?"
"Why would he do that, when I just tuck him in, Vanda? Now excuse me I have more important things on my mind."
Before turning to continue walking up the stairs he notices that she wink at him. Unable to believe what he was seeing he looks at her once more seeing the cut eye and the smile.
Ignoring Chrystal, as though she was not even there. Speaking softly to Sidney, "Now you had me worried a bit when I see it was ten-o-clock and you didn't return, and why did you leave your phone home? If something had happened to you, how was I going to know where you are?"
