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

“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.
