Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

"Okay, I know! Anything else?"

"Well, that's all!" Colin ended the phone call.

Herring hadn't told Colin about what was going on between him and Shelly.

Renee was still recovering, owing to the operation she had undergone, so Sophia and Aaron always accompanied her.

The doctor had revealed to them that the old lady's recovery would depend on her progress in the next couple of days. The siblings talked it over and finally decided to tell Jay what was going on.
