short

abby scurried around trying to pack as many of her clothes as possible in the shortest possible time. she had just accidentally read an incomming text on jeffs phone that confirmed payment was received for services to be rendered. what services she wondered and was afraid to guess. her husband had been acting unusually irritated with her and since the marriage was on a downturn recently she did not know what to think. why did she always think the worst? she had been watchnig too many episodes of 48 hours  when she would stay up late at night waiting for her son to come home fron a friends house.jeff  had been married  and divorced before she had meet him at a pep rally for congressman  jack devereaux.  his wife had died in a car accident  three years earlier, which upon investigation was deemed suspicious but findings had been inconclusive. jeff was not considered a person of interest. abby had always been unsure of herself as a young teen and things had not changed much at college in williamstown, where everyone was someone, everyone's parents owned horses and were members of the country club. she felt very uninteresting and dull and the only boy she dated came out of the closest while in her third year of college. she had been devasted. she had trusted the boy and had flowered under the undivided attention he gave her. she now guessed that it had been a ruse to keep the inquisitive at bay. sure they had sex and he was very tender, almost too tender. wow she sure  knew how to pick them. ok quick now, jeff was still in the shower and she had  time to get the emergency money she kept hidden in her tampon box in her closet and get out of the house.
