Something's Brewing ...

We left our heroine in a state of complacency. Everything's going well for her and her family. They have a new found business which her husband took to really really well. It looked like he'll be able to contribute financially prior to graduation and their future was looking brighter than ever. Also, they've made a deposit to purchase a brand new house. They were looking forward to move there by summer so life was ever so exciting!

The business kept her husband busy. Since he marketed to friends and relatives out of state, he travelled at least once a month for a week at a time. Because of their little girl, my friend is unable to travel with him. She trusted her husband enough to allow him to do this. Of course, since he has no job and they were still starting on the business, she ended up paying for the trip, the hotel, and everything else that goes with it.

Well, after 2 or 3 months of travelling, my friend started getting tired of it. So, when her husband told her that he wanted to go again, and this time for 2 weeks, she refused. She said that he really didn't need to travel there often as a lot of the things they needed to do can be done remotely or, if their team there needed help, their upline can go there to assist. Besides, she said, there are a lot of stuff that needed to be done at home. They're getting close to closing on the new house so things needed to be fixed up at home to prepare it for sale. They needed to pack, clean up, make arrangements with the realtor and she needed him to be there to help her. She requested for him to stay put for a few months at least until they're settled at the new place. For some reason, her husband didn't take that request too lightly. As a matter of fact, he fretted a lot about it. Although his reaction was a bit strange, my friend didn't think too much about it. One thing she noticed, though, was that he was becoming quite testy and moody. She thought it was just the stress of the move so she didn't pay much attention to it. Little did she know that something else was brewing deeper inside.
