Loving Laura (The Cantrelle Family Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
He felt the eyes of his parents and sisters watching him. He balled his fists, wishing he could do something concrete to help them— something other than offer platitudes. Damn, he felt helpless. He stopped pacing; he wanted a cigarette desperately, even though he’d quit smoking two years earlier. The sound of footsteps alerted him to the doctor’s approach. Neil waited silently as Dr. Dunado entered the waiting room. Dunado’s face was impassive, but Neil saw the tension in the set of the man’s shoulders. He nodded gravely, addressing his remarks to Neil’s parents. “Mr. and Mrs. Cantrelle, I’m afraid I have some bad news.” At Dunado’s words, Neil’s father put his arm around his wife’s shoulders. With his other arm he beckoned Denise and Nicole closer. Both women had frightened eyes. Neil stiffened, every sense in tune to the anxiety emanating from the doctor. In the few seconds before Dunado spoke again, the silence in the waiting room thickened, almost as if it were something you could reach out and touch.
