Linda jumped. "Fine, dear," she told Karyn, looking as if she was hiding something.
They both noticed the odd behavior from Linda immediately. She looked nervous and jumpy.
"Are you all right?" Karyn asked when she responded "Fine, Dear" to a simple hello. That was a clear giveaway she was distracted.
Linda blinked. "Do either of you notice anything...different about me today?" She had this vague recollection of wanting to talk to Jon about it, but she wasn't sure why...there was no good reason to tell him.
"No..." Karyn said. "Should we?"
"I...guess not," Linda said.
"We're going upstairs to...do our homework," Karyn told her.
"Okay, dear," Linda said, still distracted.
They headed up the stairs to Jon's...well, now Karyn's room.
