A Text
He had received a text from his mother-in-law. He rushed to open it, reading the words, “I’m taking Mason to the family pub downtown for lunch.” His eyes widened as he got up from his seat. Although he had a good relationship with Lilian, she rarely texted him. She usually informed Emma of her whereabouts if she left the house with Mason.
This was the perfect opportunity to see what was going on. He couldn’t explain why Lilian had texted him instead of his wife, but he was glad nonetheless.
As the hour was leaning toward midafternoon, Matthew jumped into his car without a second thought and floored the accelerator. He had to see what was going on.
