Not a word was spoken.

It was impossible not to be on guard.

Jeffrey was at a loss for words, just standing there in awkward silence.

“Who?” Jessica asked.

Ian leaned in, looking just as curious.

Rebecca glanced over at Samuel, hesitated, then finally spoke up, “Jeffrey.”

Jessica and Ian exchanged a look.

To be fair, Jeffrey should really be here for Samuel’s fifth birthday–he is Samuel’s actual father, after all. But considering how tense things were when he and Rebecca split, would he really bother showing up?
