Sunshine Over Wildflower Cottage - Plot & Excerpts
It was Freddie’s fourth birthday today but they wouldn’t be able to see him till Andy came home. Whatever Dino said to pacify her, Linda knew that at some point in the future, Freddie would recall how he didn’t end up with his birthday presents from his paternal grandparents until well after the event. She hadn’t been able to sleep thinking about it and she woke up in the sure and certain knowledge that she had to see her grandson today. It was a compulsion that would not be put to bed. ‘I can’t stand it,’ said Linda, pacing up and down her lounge carpet. ‘How dare Rebecca deprive that little boy.’ ‘Look love, he’ll enjoy the presents when Andy takes them over. It’ll be like a second birthday for him,’ said Dino, sounding diplomatic, but it was killing him, too. ‘It won’t be his birthday though. He should have his presents on the actual birthday,’ said Linda. ‘Kids remember stuff like that.’ Iris looked at her daughter brushing the tears away from her cheeks and she felt awful that she’d further soured relations between the Hewitts and the Pawsons.
