He also knew Mrs. Harris - he thought of her as Marla most of the time - was planning to ask his mother if it would be all right for him to go along with her to the beach house the Harrises owned to "help get it ready for winter."
"Yes," his mother said. "She also asked if your father and I would mind if you went along with her to help her get their beach house ready for winter. She wants to go Thursday. Apparently Tom will be leaving on another business trip on Friday. I told her that your father and I don't mind if you go to the beach house with her. Lord knows she needs the help with her husband gone as much as he is." She rinsed the plate she'd been washing and put it in the dish drainer next to the sink. "I have to say," she continued, "I certainly wouldn't like it if your father traveled as much as Tom does.. I really can't believe he can't manage to be home for Marla's birthday. I don't know how Marla handles his being gone so much."
