Another World Today #269: What To Do About Carl?

[anotherw...@gmail.com]

*** Last week, I deleted about 1/3rd of the manuscript I'm writing live on the web, because I felt it wasn't working, and started again, redirecting the relationship between the two leads, and doing my best to make one boring character... less boring. The changes are now done and the story is once again moving forward. But I need you to tell me if it's working. AWT readers are the only ones I trust! So please click on: http://alinaadamsmedia.com/live/ and let me know what you think! ****

“Daddy!” Daisy was the first to get over the shock of seeing Grant, alive, seemingly well, and standing in front of the motel room he’d been hiding out in for months. Possibly because she’d never bought that whole “Daddy is gone forever” story Mommy had tried to feed her earlier.

“Daisy! You’re – you’re home!” Grant explained, looking to Lila for answers, seeing as how last he’d heard, his daughter was missing.

Lila, who’d been too busy focusing on her own child to think about Grant’s, startled to realize she hadn’t noticed Daisy’s return.

But that, obviously, wasn’t the main drama of the day.

Tearing his eyes away from Daisy, Grant looked at Sarah and Kirkland. His wife and his son stared back, dumbstruck, too shocked to speak.

Grant opened his mouth, wanting to explain, needing to explain, desperate to explain.

But Sarah would have none of it.

***

Sarah and Kirkland react to Grant's return - while Grant reacts to Lila's betrayal. Allie drops a truth on GQ, while Jamie tries to do the same with Matt - to mixed results. Cass learns the strings that come associated with his new job, Cory's homecoming isn't what anyone expected, and Russ finally reaches Rachel - but will Iris stand for it?
