~ Salina ~
Wednesday morning, Jeff and JoAnna are in a hotel suite in Salina, getting ready to go and meet with Isabella.
"Are you sure it's OK that I join?", JoAnna was reluctant.
"Yes, my dear wifey." Jeff embraced her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Isabella already agreed to the plan. There are no problems if you to join and meet her. It will be good for you to see for yourself that I have nothing to do with her, except the desire to help her be independent."
JoAnna relented, "OK. Fine..."
"Thank you." Jeff exhaled in relief. He does not want to leave her by herself, and if the meeting will not be with someone who is hostile, he prefers that JoAnna joins him. "For the afternoon, you can stay in the room. Lambert will probably resist the plan, so you should avoid the stress."
