Chapter 63: Henry's Accident Menu

Turning another page, she saw a photo of Henry standing in the alleyway by Lucky's Diner. He was wearing a white shirt, ripped jeans, his hair tousled, looking warily at the camera.

"This was taken a year after we put up the missing person posters. A stranger sent it to us, and we rushed out to find him," Linda explained.

In the corner of the photo, a girl in a denim halter top and white shirt, with short, sharp hair, held a large cotton candy, smiling brightly at Henry.

"Who's she?" Sonya asked.

Linda's expression faltered, and she quickly closed the album. "Just a passerby." Sonya had almost forgotten what Jasmine Smith looked like, but judging by Linda's reaction, the girl in the photo was likely Jasmine Smith. So the person who had walked alongside him, someone he couldn't possibly have forgotten, he simply chose not to mention.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at photo albums until midnight. If Benjamin hadn't refused to sleep alone, Linda would have continued recounting Henry's childhood antics.

"Ugh, I still haven't told Sonya about Henry getting into a fight in high school and the teacher calling his parents," Linda grumbled as she got out of bed.

"What's there to tell? It's embarrassing," Benjamin called from outside the room.

"Oh, it was hilarious! His teacher was a fan of mine, and the parents of the kid he fought with were also fans! It was a serious situation that turned into a fan meet-and-greet.

Linda chuckled, walking to the door. She told Sonya to rest well, then headed to her bedroom with Benjamin, their laughter echoing through the house.

Sonya was infected by Linda's mirth. Any slight apprehension she felt regarding Jasmine Smith dissipated instantly.

She video-called Henry, but he didn't answer.

The next day was Saturday. Sonya had breakfast at the old house, practiced yoga with Linda, and then left.

She had lunch at Jake Parker's small bar, celebrating Lily Lane's first movie after her comeback.

"I have an audition tomorrow. Wish me luck!" Lily Lane raised her glass.

Sonya and Jake Parker clinked glasses, offering their good wishes.

"Director Davis recommended me. It's a low-budget detective mystery, but the script is amazing, and my role has a lot of potential. I love it!" Lily Lane gushed. "A detective drama? Sounds interesting," Jake Parker said.
