Bringing Each Other Up To Speed (2)

"That ungrateful swine, after everything Emilia and I did for him…wait, Emilia… have you checked in on her to see if she returned yet?" Partway through his statement, Brenden paused and immediately became concerned about his wife.

"I haven't been able to do much yet, as she's only two years old right now, and her family won't be heading down here from New York until 2000. I've been trying to find her, but it's incredibly difficult givin my lack of means to do so."

"I have, however, been checking in on the house she and her parents moved into, and it just finished being built last month; plus, I don't doubt that if she had returned already, she would have tried establishing contact with us." My answer wasn't what Brenden wanted to hear, but what could he do; technology hadn't advanced far enough for communication to be simple yet; still, since my father had us listed in the phone book, it wouldn't be difficult for her to look us up…which reminds me.
