How we ended up with it, I never knew and never asked.
Pat and Darlene stood in the kitchen with my wife sharing coffee when I came in, still busily chatting away in excited tones though they soon quieted upon hearing me.
It finally got down to just Pat and my wife, and I found myself holding my breath as I knew the two of them to be the best of friends obviously, but I was also a little nervous, worried and fearful of what I was about to learn regarding my own wife.
