John's trip redux.....

[dreadedcandiru2]

One thing we can always rely on is that Elly is transfixed by the fear that if she can't see what John is up to, he must be doing something bad. This made her trip to Vancouver even less enjoyable than it would have been and it's keeping her up nights now that he's the one that's away. In both cases she spent seventy to eighty percent of her waking moments worrying that he was at the very least tempted to stray; the remaining time was spent being convinced that he already had. He doesn't even have to do anything to justify that; we saw him be glad that he married early so that he wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of having a social life so we know that all he'll do when confronted with temptation is leer, make a stupid joke guaranteed to antagonize Elly so he can score points in the sick mind games he plays and spend another night failing to realize why Flapandhonk gives him the cold shoulder. That doesn't matter to Lynn or Elly because John is a man; that's all the reason needed to suspect him.
