I had a thing about how if we are getting the problems and other stuff stuff paid off in installments rather than all at once, the balance of the final bit to the rest is significantly less of a concern. She thinks of her issues in terms of 'Will is gonna kill me', which is dealt with, but there is evidence that she might be conflating other issues with that.
Then decided I didn't know how much sense I was making, deleted it, and went to sleep. (Rest and time to think has done me some good. First paragraph has fewer words.)
I like the new version better. I think it ties things up better. I look forward to more.
And wandered out into the apartment's hall. I didn't check Mom's room - although I was very tempted - instead I walked into the kitchen and replaced the bin bag. If Mom suddenly emerged, either on my departure or Will's return, my reason for being out was taking the trash down. The pizza box along was large enough to justify not keeping it in the kitchen longer than necessary.
along might work better as alone
For some reason, just seeing the name Cornelia reminds me of where it came from. Roman women tended to be named the feminine of their 'clan' name. Cornelius was the family that produced, among others, the famous Gaius Julius Caesar's first wife.
