Corrie called from the back bedroom. She swore that if Roy didn’t get his hearing checked soon, she’d start ignoring every word he said. That would give him a little demonstration of what she put up with every day. “Okay,” he yelled from the living room. With an exasperated sigh Corrie went back to her wrapping paper and ribbon. She was almost finished with Noelle’s birthday gift, the one they’d take to Grace Harding’s party. She still needed to arrange the last of the Christmas presents under the tree before their children arrived for dinner, which would be followed by Christmas Eve church services. After that, they’d go to Noelle’s first-birthday celebration at the Hardings’. Gloria, Roy and Corrie’s eldest daughter, would be coming tonight. Corrie hoped Gloria would bring Chad Timmons. She couldn’t help worrying about Gloria, who was single, pregnant and determined to manage on her own. What disturbed Corrie most was the fact that there was no reason for Gloria to be so stubborn.
