Chapter 3: Sasha
After sleepless night and much scribbling on scraps of paper, Jack had a plan. Early in the morning he went down to the supermarket to have a word with Sasha and Jeff. He'd waited until Karen had left and then explained his plan to them.
"I love Karen," he explained to Sasha, "and I think she loves me but she a little bit of a push to accept what's right in front of her."
"Yes," Sasha agreed. "I know my daughter, she's always been the last to understand what's best for her." Jack smiled in acknowledgement. " You can depend on me."
" Not so fast," Jeff interrupted," I don't want a part in anything that's going to hurt Karen."
"God, that's the last thing I'd want," Jack answered, turning sharply to face the usually diffident Jeff.
"Jeff!! Of course we wouldn't." Sasha reassured him.
"And I don't want my little girl forced into anything against her will." Jeff added.
"Jeff, you don't have anything to worry about there," Jack added. "You know that I hope Karen will understand and that everything will go our way but if she decides against me then that's the way it will have to be."
"In that case," said Jeff, "you have my co-operation Jack."
With that Jack went back to the farm and crossed the first name off his list.
