In Crestwood, Gilbert found it odd how Jenna never stopped talking about her mom but never mentioned her dad. Today, she had asked such a peculiar question.

“Jenna…” Gilbert was about to delve deeper when suddenly, “Jenna!” The loud call startled them. It was Sophia!

She had been vigilantly watching over them, afraid to blink. Little did she expect a stranger to approach!

“And who might you be? Chatting up someone else’s kid? Got screws loose?”

As she spoke, tears started to well up in Sophia’s eyes.
