Teresa returned to Rosary Estates and heard the faint noise coming from the kitchen.
Jennifer was making soup there.
“You’re back, Teresa,” Jennifer greeted casually, as if their tension had never existed.
“Yeah, Teresa replied, taking off her gloves and pulling her phone out of her bag.
Jennifer’s phone on the table lit up with a notification, and Teresa’s eyes caught Jennifer’s newly set wallpaper.
It was the family photo Evelyn asked to take before she left.
Evelyn wanted one, so she asked Michael to take a shot. In the photo, Evelyn held Isabel, and Teresa and Hannah stood behind them. It was a simple family portrait of the mother and daughters.
The photo had been taken with Teresa’s phone, and Teresa had sent it to Jennifer, mentioning offhandedly that her smile looked nice in it.
Teresa hadn’t expected Jennifer to set it as her phone’s wallpaper.
On the phone screen, Evelyn and Isabel’s faces were obscured by the date and time, leaving only Teresa and Hannah’s faces visible.
“What are you standing there for?” Jennifer asked, untying her apron and walking over.
