Chapter 1003 Out Of Control:>Ep61

Yet thinking about walking into the office that first day filled him with fear. He imagined hiding in his office -- door locked, under the desk. What was wrong with him? He knew he wasn't supposed to be beating himself up for his feelings, but James couldn't stop. He'd always held himself to a higher standard and now that felt so far out of reach.
James got up and decided to walk around the house. Hopefully clear his thoughts. He knew Christine and Austin were out shopping. No 'little rests' for them, James thought ruefully. He knew that mother and son were on their best behavior. Going to the supermarket was probably the final step in both of their recoveries.
When he got down to the kitchen, he heard Lexi in the basement gym, working out again. Lexi had probably had it the hardest, James reflected, what with what had happened to her down at the lake. Yet here she was: back to her exercise routine, taking care of herself, not doing anything even remotely inappropriate with anyone. She wasn't leaving the house yet, but James figured that was only a matter of time.
