ODDS OF LOVE - SEASON THIRTEEN

Episode 36

" We probably shouldn't have went there," Andrew said as they drove back to Alfred and Gerald's house from the hospital. " It doesn't seem like it helped."

Glory looked out of the window. " Maybe. Maybe not. Someone needed to apologize. " And , it grieved her that it wouldn't be her daughter. Dodie was still being so stubborn about everything. She kept saying she didn't do it but there were all those witnesses and the videos on social media. They all said Dodie did it. " I think she needs to apologize. She needs to show remorse. Maybe they'll go easy on her. Time in jail but not as much. Or something. I mean look what Skip Sands did to Spencer and he got a plea deal. " She glanced over at her husband who was so quiet. " I don't know why Richard had to keep her in jail. Why couldn't he let her go home on bail ? Maybe with an ankle bracelet. She could have given up her passport. "

Andrew sighed deeply. " Richard was just doing his job. Being a judge can be a difficult trying profession. No matter what you do or say someone will be mad. "

Glory shook her head. " I'm not mad. Not at Richard. I know he is a good man trying to be a good judge. It's not his fault. It's not Jamal Duncan's fault. It's not Gordon and Alan Kendall's fault. It's.... Dodie's fault. She has always been so hot headed. So fiery. So full of her self. And she never listens. To anyone. She is the total opposite of Alfred. Sometimes I wish......"

She fell silent and they rode in quiet until Andrew said ," Feel up to eating? You didn't have lunch. We can stop at Richard and Nigel's. Or that little sandwich place you like. Maybe get some takeout for Alfred and Gerald as well. And the boys. We need to stop by Dodie's place and grab some stuff for the boys. Do you even have a key for her house ? "

Glory, still looking out the window, replied," Yes. Subs sound nice. I have one. We need to get them from school too. And we need to put the fear of us and God into them. I don't want them destroying Gerald's home. That reminds me. Alfred mentioned wanting us to live there permanently. If we want. He said he discussed it with Gerald and Gerald thinks it's fine. What would we do with the house though ? We own it now. "

Andrew pulled into the parking lot of Sassy's Sub Shoppe. " We can ask Faith and Joy if they want to rent it from us. Or just live there rent free. They'll need more space. She's doing that implantation business tomorrow and after the baby is born it'll be with them on weekends. Weekdays the other two will have the baby. "

As he parked Glory closed her eyes. " Sounds fine to me. This wouldn't be Faith either. Why did Dodie do this? "
