Geoffrey and Ethan had prepped a whole table of Maureen’s favorite dishes with the chef. When Ethan saw Katherine and Jacob arrive, he looked surprised.

“Katherine, Jacob, what’re you doing here?”

“We’re late, hope we can still join for dinner?”

Katherine’s arrival instantly brightened the mood.

“Of course you can.”

Katherine brought both kids to help out in the kitchen.

Maureen stared at the empty rooms, her appetite gone.

Geoffrey approached. “You alright?”

He wasn’t like Alex–good with words or comfort.

“Yeah.”

Maureen nodded.

“You guys must be hungry. Go eat without me.”

“You need to eat anyway.”

Since Zoe’s incident, Maureen hadn’t eaten a bite. Geoffrey worried about her health.

“But-”

“No buts.”

Geoffrey cut her off. “Remember, you’re carrying a child.”

Belatedly, Maureen rested a hand on her lower abdomen.

She’d almost forgotten the baby.

“Okay, I’ll eat.”
