Richard suspects trouble and realizes he\u2019s right after peeking through her front windows.Richard tapped his fingers nervously against the steering wheel as he drove. Deidre used to drive down every Thanksgiving, but that stopped after his wife\u2019s funeral four years ago. Now, there were only weekly calls. Richard spread his arms wide as Deidre appeared in the doorway. \u201cSurprise!\u201d he yelled. \u201cDad? What are you doing here?\u201d she asked, tears rolling down her cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came to celebrate my birthday with you\u2026it\u2019s the big eight-o!\u201d Richard replied, but the joy in his voice trailed off quickly. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, honey? Why are you crying?\u201d\u201dIt\u2019s nothing; everything\u2019s fine,\u201d Deidre quickly wiped her tears and smiled a little. \u201cI just\u2026I wasn\u2019t expecting you, and this isn\u2019t really a good time.

Richard stepped back from the front door but didn\u2019t leave. He stepped over the short, flowering shrubs lining the path and snuck up to peek through the windows.<\/p>\n<p>you\u2019d hoped, but you tried, Deidre.
