Unexpected Arrival
David was surprised to receive a call from his mother one fall afternoon. Without providing any justification or polite request, she simply informed him that she was in the region and would need a place to stay for about a week. To make matters worse, she would be there in time for supper.
David and Emma were completely confused. They weren’t prepared to welcome a woman they hadn’t spoken to in six years, and Timmy hadn’t even been told about Mildred, much less met her. As expected, she was at the door later that evening, her four suitcases by her side.
