ALEXANDER

I left the room quietly, closing the door behind me.

The moment I stepped into the hallway, the concern I had been pushing aside returned. Something was wrong, and it was obvious.

I knew Faye.

I knew when she was tired, when she was annoyed, when she was pretending not to care about something, and when something was genuinely bothering her.

What she had told me downstairs didn’t make sense.

A headache.

That was all she had given me. It was even worse when she mentioned that it might be because of the water.

But I wasn’t stupid enough to believe that. And in her condition, it would be terrible to argue with her.

I had seen her before we all decided to come back into the house.

She had been happy.

She had been laughing with everyone, enjoying herself, teasing me, and acting like she was having a good time. She had spent the entire evening relaxed and carefree.

Then she stayed outside with Helen for a few minutes, and everything changed.

Her eyes were swollen. Her expression was completely different.

She looked like someone who had been trying desperately not to fall apart.

Faye had gone out of her way to make this day happen. She had convinced me, arranged everything, got gifts, and spent the entire day trying to bring everyone together.

moment.

I walked downstairs and entered the living room. Everyone else had already gone upstairs. Only Helen remained. She was sitting quietly, looking through something on her phone. The moment she saw me, she looked up. I walked over and sat across from her. “Mom, what happened between you and Faye?”

I had expected it. Helen was not going to admit anything. And Faye had already given me an answer I knew wasn’t the truth.

I ran a hand over my face.

“She already told me it was a headache.”

Helen didn’t respond.

The silence between us lasted for several seconds. Then she spoke.

“The only serious conversation I had with Faye today was about something you already know.”
