Gabby sniffed deeply, then savored the strong flavor. Nothing started her day like coffee. Especially when her day started earlier than normal. But sleep had eluded her after her show, teasing her until she’d finally fallen into a restless slumber. Until ten-thirty. Unheard of for her to be up at such an hour after working until six. But something had jerked her from her fragmented dream state. So she sat at the kitchen table sipping coffee, about to read the morning paper. She took another sip of coffee and unfolded the newsprint. Her heart clutched as she read the headline. Former Radio Station Owner Accused of Murdering Employee. The coffee soured in her stomach as Gabby read the article, which went on to imply there was a divorce looming for the Ellisons, putting a dark slant on the argument between Robert and Howard in Ms. Minnie’s café and casting suspicion upon the recent sale of KLUV to Mr. McKay. How dare the reporter print such unfounded claims? “According to a source close to Robert and Amber Ellison, a divorce sits on the horizon.”
