I was a little disconcerted this morning

Every day I have been here thus far, my host, David, is up and about before 5am.
I became worried when he had not risen by 8.30am.
Has he died in his sleep? That was the thought going through my mind. At what point do I check on him?
So many thoughts were circling around in my mind.
Here I am, newly arrived and staying with David. His daughter was/is against my moving in until she has met me and approved the venture or otherwise.
That would look really suspicious, 4 days after my arrival, her father dies.
So many thoughts were going through my mind. Police involvement, I would have to move out immediately, the need to find 2 weeks accommodation as I fly back to Perth on May 4th.
I decided on a course of action. Go up to the shopping centre and have a coffee. If he has not surfaced by the time I returned, I would knock on the bedroom door and see if he is still breathing.
What more could I do? If he had passed, an extra hour is not going to change anything.
I was so relieved when I heard footsteps down below. Whew.
All that worry went straight out the door.

That’s always the best course of action.Do nothing and have a cup of coffee :grinning:
