Playing The Son-In-Law
Floating through the room, I played the role of the good son-in-law. Smiling politely and shaking hands, I managed to keep my comments to myself.
Every nod to a story and mumbled agreement was another chapter in this strange family novel. I was a patient page-turner, waiting for the climax.
As glances exchanged across the room between Lisa and me, I knew comfort was in our shared secret.
