Jennifer had been shouldering the blame for more than her fair share.

At the dinner table, she served Mary some vegetable salad with the serving tongs.

Mary’s appetite had been waning, but she didn’t let it show in front of them. She tasted a bit of the tenderly braised fish, nodding in approval. “This fish is nice. Give some to our Anne, too.”

Leanne responded politely, “Thank you, Mrs. Richardson.”

Jennifer put down her utensils, ready to spill the beans. “Mary, the truth is, Curtis and Leanne…”
