Chapter 479

Josephine watched them standing together with a knowing smile, sensing something unspoken in their exchange. They looked like they belonged together.

Evelyn approached Josephine, who insisted she didn't need company, saying the nurse was enough. She urged Evelyn to go out with Brooks for dinner and a movie.
