Jackie hummed as she buttered a piece of toast, she was happy Ted was gone.
Jack was outside getting the newspaper that he always read in the morning, he always read it, and if he didn't have that he had the TV on watching the news.
She continued the buttering of the toast until a mighty THUMP was heard.
Jackie dropped the toast on the counter and ran toward the noise, Jack might have collapsed from straining himself, or Bella might have fallen from something or...
Her thoughts fell short when she saw Jack on the floor by the front door, face white as a sheet, the newspaper clutched in his left hand in a death grip.
"Jack?" Jackie asked, kneeling down beside him.
Her husband turned to her with hurt on his face.
"Jack what's wrong?" she asked, attempting to pry the paper from his hands, but his grip held strong.
"Why Jackie?" he asked.
"Why what Jack?" Jackie asked.
"Jack what's wrong?" Jackie repeated.
Jack wordlessly showed her the front of the newspaper.
And Jackie gasped.
