Summary: Stacey's with the doctor.
029: Day
Stacey had an appointment today. Dale’s worried.
She’s been sick and irrational. Hasn’t been sleeping. It was like pulling hen’s teeth to get her to make the appointment and even harder to get her to keep it. He’d threatened to tie her up and take her if she didn’t go.
Stacey’s not been worried, though. She’s chalked it up to PMS, which is catching, she says, since she doesn’t have a working regulator anymore. But Dale’s not so sure. His mother went crazy and died a week later. He doesn’t want Stacey to do the same.
Doesn’t know what he’d do if she did.
Janet took her to the doctor. Should be bringing her back to him in just a few minutes.
Speak of the devil, he thinks. Hears her car pull into the driveway. Stacey gets out, bids Janet farewell and runs for the door.
Dale meets her there. She’s smiling.
"I told you it wasn’t bad," she scolds. She hands him a paper and pushes past him.
Dale glances down, reads the highlighted parts. Has to look again.
She smiles and hurries off to the bathroom. Janet’s watching him from next door. He waves. She grins. He grins right back.
"Tell her to have a boy!" Janet calls. "That’ll even out the score a little!"
Dale rolled his eyes and shut the door.
