“Gwendolyn, you’re back. We were just wondering when you’d show up,” Jeannie said warmly, linking her arm through Gwendolyn’s, “The kitchen’s full of your favorites.”

“Thanks” Gwendolyn replied with polite gratitude.

“It’s what family does,” Roselind chimed in with a smile, “Come here, I want to have a word with you.”
