Nora closed her eyes for a brief second, then opened them, her gaze icy.

“No,” she said flatly. “Mom has things to do.”

A pause.

Then. Alex’s confused voice. “Huh? Mom said no.”

Arnold’s response was just as indifferent. “Uh–huh.”

Alex seemed unsettled. “Oh… okay. Then, Mom, bye.”

“Bye.”

The call ended, and Nora stared at her phone, her mind strangely numb.

Back at the house, Alex placed the phone down and looked over at Arnold.

“Dad,” he said slowly, “Mom seems… angry.”

Arnold, who had been sipping his coffee, didn’t even glance up. “Hm.”

Alex tilted his head. He wasn’t sure why, but he suddenly had a bad feeling.

For the next few days, Nora worked from home. She kept herself busy, answering emails, reviewing documents, and attending virtual meetings. It was easier this way–she didn’t have to leave the house, didn’t have to see anyone unless she chose to.

Her injuries from the accident had mostly healed, but she still felt an occasional dull ache in her wrist when she typed for too long.

Alex called her every day. His concern was evident in the way he asked about her well–being, but he never once mentioned coming over to see her.

Nora wasn’t surprised. She had already guessed he wouldn’t.

But then, one evening, Alex’s voice came through the phone with an unusual request.

“Mom, can you take me to the hot springs?”

“The hot
