Chapter 76

Evelyn and Claire sat comfortably in the living room, watching Samantha as she played with her toys on the floor, and Claire couldn't help but remind Evelyn about some of her childhood antics Evelyn found herself laughing at those memories, allowing herself to derive joy from her childhood without thinking of Sandra since Claire made sure to talk about the memories involving just Evelyn, Maya and Samantha also joined in the laughter as Samantha asked more questions about Evelyn's childhood.
