The next morning the couple was faced with a dilemma. Attempt to continue on the journey they had discussed or find another course of action. Voldemort was homeless with no where to go and they could not go back to Alyce's home. They finally decided to stay another night while they chose their next course of action.
That day Alyce talked with a few friends. One of them was just concerned because she had talked with Shawn and had heard information she felt was disturbing. Shawn was incredibly nervous about all that happened and didn’t want Alyce to leave. He was concerned for her safety and was starting to feel very nervous about Voldemort even though they had been good friends. The other friend was the financial friend and who didn’t know what was going on but just wanted to know the girl was okay.
This was when the jealousy seemed to start with Voldemort. He had shown some signs of jealousy before but it had seemed mild. He had been off working so much of the time that he didn’t notice much of what was going on with Alyce, with her friendships, and other stuff going on including school. Now they were alone together and had been for over 24 hours. He seemed to be upset over her having phone calls from concerned friends. Alyce felt this was circumstantial and didn’t get too upset over it.
Alyce spent those days trying to relax and find alternative ideas about what to do. One of the suggestions Voldemort had made was that he had a house in California. He said that if they got to the house in California then they could get money there, fly to Florida, get money straightened out with ML, then return home and take care of everyone and all the bills. This seemed reasonable if they could get figure out a way to get money.
Since Alyce had her laptop with them and a wireless connection, she researched loans online and attempted to secure a loan. Monday morning she received confirmation that she had gotten a loan and that the funds were deposited into her bank account. This seemed like good news at the time and it was decided that the couple would head to California to take care of things.
Early Monday morning while they were packing up, Voldemort had a heart problem. Alyce had already experienced some of his heart problems and even though she was used to them, she was very concerned. Voldemort said it was so bad that they might need to go to the hospital. She was very worried and concerned. What if something happened to him? What then?
Eventually the heart problem subsided and he said he would be fine to travel. This surprised Alyce but she figured if he said he was safe to travel, he must be.
