He was now a big shot at Sartori Corporation, and Ms. Claire knew he'd have to head back eventually.
Chloe chimed in, "Honestly, I haven't really made up my mind yet." Ever since she left the TV station, she found herself in this weird in-between phase, unsure of her next move. Even though she kept saying she hadn’t decided, deep down, she knew she had. She just needed that little nudge to get her going.
And wouldn’t you know it, that push came sooner than she thought. No sooner had her plane landed than Chloe got a call from Leah.
Leah's voice was gentle, almost hesitant, "Chloe, I saw on the news you're back. Could you swing by home tonight?" Chloe had a pretty good idea what this was about, and her heart sank a bit.
"Mom, if this is about Lisa, there's nothing I can do. She killed two people, and I can't just ignore the law. I don't have that power." Chloe’s timing couldn't have been more spot-on—Lisa's trial was scheduled for the next day.
Leah was at a loss for words, and after a moment of silence, she hung up. Chloe felt like there was a heavy weight in her chest. Connor, noticing her mood, whipped up her favorite dish that evening—sweet and sour pork ribs. As she savored each bite, Chloe felt her spirits lift, if only a little.
