Madeline knew better than to answer her phone and as it rang, she consciously put it down after checking the caller id. Penny. No, she was just going to let her daughter deal with this. A little responsibility would be good for Penny. Worse case scenario, Penny would barrage Joan with interrogation questions about Rog if Joan were not forthcoming with information as to Rog’s whereabouts. Best case scenario, Penny would put on the charm and win back Joan and thus find out the information in a much quicker fashion.
Not much to be done, thought Madeline who was making the effort not to panic over Rog.
It had grown too shadowy for her to continue her artistic efforts with her berries and teapot. No, now Madeline was inspired to take on another project.
Pouring herself a glass of wine, even though she knew it would make her face appear sunburned for the evening, she sat down at her computer. Its glowing presence made her feel as though she were not alone. It had a basic personality and certainly inspired her return. Perhaps Penny’s obsessive-compulsive ways were more like her own than she cared to admit.
The thought had been percolating in her mind for a few days now and what could it hurt? Her friend Rebecca had mentioned that her divorced daughter had found a successful relationship using a computer dating service. What would it hurt to look at a few options for Penny? Maybe having a new man in her life would give Penny something new to worry about other than her brother’s relationship?
Madeline typed “dating services” into Google and discovered there were hundreds. Where to even begin?
