Chapter 12
During dinner at the Quinn's residence, Sandra decided to bring up Evelyn's return.
"Dad," she started, and both her parents looked at her when they detected the seriousness in her voice.
"Yes, dear?" Eric Quinn responded.
"Is there a problem?" Sandra's mom, Claire, asked, her concern evident in her voice as she stopped eating to look at her daughter. Eric also glanced at Sandra with concern in his eyes.
"Is everything okay?" he asked when Sandra looked at them hesitantly as if she was trying not to say something.
Seeing that she had both their attention, she sighed deeply, "I'm not sure how to bring this up," she said, looking distressed.
"You're not sure how to bring what up? Is there a problem?" Claire asked again, looking even more concerned now.
"Go on and tell us if there is a problem""" Eric urged her.
Sandra sighed deeply as she looked down at her plate, "Has either of you heard from Evelyn? Are you aware that she is back?" she asked, and both her mother and stepfather exchanged glances. "Evelyn is back? How do you know that?" Claire asked in concern while Eric looked at Sandra, waiting for her to answer the question.
