Excerpt from Red & Blue With Two Chapter 5 – Anxious:

"Jimmy!" I hissed. Holding a finger over my pursed lips, I shook my head.

Swinging his head around, my son beamed with his twinkling blue eyes.

Eyeing the landline, I mouthed, "Who is that?"

Playing along, Jimmy covered the microphone and whispered back.

Swallowing the stone in my throat, I trotted down the rest of the stairs and motioned for him to hand me the phone. Cold sweat tingled my temples and prickled the hackles on the back of my neck as I shivered. Sucking on my bottom lip, I managed a strangled, "Take Sal outside and go play, please." Before I smeared the handset with sweat, I wiped my palms on my trousers.

With a pout, Jimmy rushed out, "Gotta go. Love you!" Oblivious to my anxiousness, he placed the receiver in my fingers and proceeded to the porch with Sally in tow.

Hands sweltering, pursuing a temperature rivalling the "hot, hot, hot, hot chocolate" from The Polar Express, I clenched the spiral cord like a stress ball in my other hand. Perturbation soared inside and threatened to trigger a rush of pure adrenaline.

A/N: Ruh-roh, sounds like something distressing is going down in Andy's world! 😨 You do not want to miss the next chapter of R&BWT! If you'd like to take a peek at the beginnings, I've attached the link in the external section! 😊
