April, encouraged by the news and enthused
    by her positive attitude. "It has been a pleasure to meet you. Goodbye."
    "Goodbye," said Joyce, waving to them as they left the café.
    "Well, she seems very nice," said April as they went down in
    the lift.
    "She's okay. My mother really liked her, I think."
    "I hope she can find a place, because I'm at my wits end."
    "Never mind, love, by tonight, I may have my first company
    pension scheme in my briefcase!"
    She'd heard this too many times to be excited about it, but
    she summoned up an enthusiastic smile and held his arm as they walked to the
    car through the many shoppers wending their way home.

CHAPTER 5
     
    Dinner that evening was a subdued affair. They arrived home
    very late, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Edna Harrison had gone to bed, leaving a
    note on the kitchen table explaining their dinner was in the oven, and most
    likely spoiled.
    The meeting in Oldham had dragged on for almost two hours,
    and April was fuming by the time he returned. She would not listen to a word
    about the meeting and simply said, "Grant, I'm very tired, bored, and cold, so
    take me home without talking, or it will just start a row, with the mood I'm
    in..."
    He drove home as fast as he could in his old car, and was
    disappointed with her attitude. He'd suggested she come into the offices and
    wait in the reception area for the meeting to finish, but she did not like
    meeting new people, especially at the end of the day when she was worn out and
    disappointed.
    The sat at the kitchen table eating warm shepherd's pie,
    which was quite dry and hard around the edges, but nevertheless it was tasty
    and filled their empty stomachs. There was no conversation during the meal, and
    when she was finished, April stood up and said, "I'm going on up to bed. How
    long will you be?"
    "I want to write out my report on the meeting, so I can take
    it to the office in the morning, and then I'll be right up."
    "I didn't ask what you'll be doing, I asked, when will you
    be coming upstairs," she snapped with a tired stare.
    "Sorry love, I wasn't thinking. I will be about thirty
    minutes, that's all."
    With a sniff and a toss of her shoulder length blond hair
    set with bouncy waves and curls, she left the room.
    Grant stared at the closed door, wondering how much longer
    he could put up with her moody attitude and harsh manner. She really was a
    living doll to look at, with her perfectly proportioned petite figure, and the
    porcelain features of her heart-shaped face with the cupid bow lips that she
    kept glossy red.
    The problem was her increasing tendency for shrewish
    comments, and her constant nagging at him when he failed to produce the sales
    and income he promised. She was very ambitious and when she first met Grant, he
    was a newly appointed manager with the insurance company and their future
    success seemed assured.
    As the months dragged on into years, she became more
    demanding and less happy with everything, and Grant knew that unless he could
    turn their finances around in the next few months, their relationship was
    doomed to turn into a nightmare.
    He had been facing her cold back in bed for almost six
    months now, while she denied him his conjugal rights, because of the immodest
    attention she said he was paying towards her mother. As he sat at the table,
    looking at his blank report while sucking on his pen, he thought how her
    attitude, especially in bed, was only making things worse. This was because the
    colder April became towards him, the warmer and more eager and attentive her
    mother, Edna seemed.
    Edna was a buxom, 42-year old working class Yorkshire woman,
    who didn't hesitate in calling a spade a spade. When she came into the kitchen
    one evening a few months ago, he was having a row with April about her stopping
    their sexual activities, and she understood at once what was going on and
    jumped right in by saying, "You better shape up, young girl, because you've got
    a handsome young man as
