Ted Berson didn't like the move, but it was going to better provide for his family.
A transfer to Memphis wasn't what he hand in mind, but he knew that it was going to be better for everyone in the long run. Ted and his wife, Barbara, and their two daughters - Miranda, 22, and Stephanie, 18 - lived in Pittsburgh, and had been there since Ted and Barb were first married.
Barb certainly didn't like it, either. Miranda was about to get her degree at Duquesne University, and Steph was about to graduate high school. There was plenty up in the air right now. Where was Stephanie going to go to college? Tuition changes drastically depending on what state the family lived in, which of course was going to affect where Steph could go.
Ted, therefore, decided that until things were further solidified, he would commute week-to-week between home and Tennessee. He would spend the work weeks in a one-bedroom apartment in Memphis then fly home on Fridays to spend the weekend with his family.
Not far into this process, Barb began to complain of the lonliness she suffered during the weekdays. To this end, Ted and Barb decided that a friend of theirs - Marc Taylor - would stop by the house a few times a week to just see how things were going and to see if Barb needed anything he could help with.
This was disconcerting to Ted, who knew that Barb was always fond of Marc and that the two had, in fact, dated for a short time in college.
He was right to have concern or suspicion, it just came from a direction he hadn't anticipated.
OOC:
The roles of Marc and Stephanie have been filled. The roles of Ted, Barb and Miranda are up for grabs, though they will be filled as NPCs until we have them cast.
