Nora’s expression remained unreadable. “I didn’t see them,” she replied flatly.

Arnold’s gaze lingered on her face, and a knowing glint entered his eyes. “You saw them. You just ignored them,” he stated, his voice calm yet firm.

Nora had always made an effort to attend Grandma Lancelot’s invitations in the past.

Arnold’s expression flickered with something–surprise, perhaps even a hint of disappointment–but he quickly masked it. “Nora-”

“Dad?” Alex tilted his head. “What are you looking at? Did you see someone you know?”
