"To tell you the truth," began Cherise in an irritated tone,
"I don't give a flying fig what you write about my stupid hus-
band."
Maggie blinked and blotted her face with a towel.
"Yeah," continued Cherise in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Sounds like things have gotten worse between you
two...
Cherise rolled her eyes dramatically. "Well, after my
uncle straightened out the financial part of my business, he
Gs~ me down for a little chat. He strongly recommended that
eg and I see a marriage counselor together."

things. Does that make any sense~"
"Maybe." Cherise had begun to clean a piece of weight
equipment again. "Do you think it would help if I went to
church, Maggie?"
She smiled. "Yes, I do. But you probably shouldn't expect
that Greg will go with you."
