Celeste had just finished shutting down her laptop and tidying up when she stepped out of the master bedroom. Before she could react, Jordyn threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly. “Mom!”

Celeste turned to Trevor, who was casually leaning against the wall, occupied with his phone. “Can we talk in the
