PRODIGAL DAUGHTER RETURNS UNEXPECTEDLY

My daughter is doing a ski season in Meribel. The deal is November to the end of April with no leave to return home for any reason. In an email last week on my birthday I mentioned, perhaps insesitively, that it could be my last, and this upset her when she was at the hotel reception. Her boss queried it and decided she could have a break to come home for a few days. My wife was furious with me for the email but we are all pleased now that she is back. She arrived yesterday and flies back Saturday.
