Chapter 107

Jocelyn had barely set foot inside her parents’ home when she spotted her dad, Calvin, inspecting a box in the living room with a childlike curiosity.

“Young people today crave freedom, Calvin said once Jocelyn had hung up. “But with the right person, freedom comes naturally.”

Catching her parents’ knowing looks, Jocelyn teased. “Stop that. You’re scaring me.”
