Her straightforward refusal led to a brief silence on the other end.

“Thank you. I appreciate it.”

Beck didn’t say anything else and hung up the call.

“When are you coming home?” Jordyn asked.

Celeste replied directly, “I sprained my ankle and can’t walk easily. I’m staying elsewhere to recover, so I won’t be coming home. You should go to bed early.”

Jordyn gasped. “What? Mom, you hurt your ankle? Is it serious? Does it hurt a lot?”

“It hurts a bit, but it’s not serious. It’ll be fine in a few days.

“Alright,” Jordyn sounded somewhat relieved but still concerned. “Where are you staying, Mom? Dad’s coming home later. We’ll come visit you tomorrow.”
