Broken Vows and Buried Twins novel Chapter 146

About ten minutes later, the house finally fell completely silent.

Hester opened the security camera app on her phone.

The living room was empty.

They had all left.

She let out a slow sigh of relief.

After thinking for a moment, she dialed Sabrina's number. "Sabrina, are you free right now?"

...

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang again.

It was Sabrina.

Hester went to open the door.

Sabrina stood there, shaking a small cake box in her hand. "Sea salt caramel from that bakery on West Street. I actually had to wait in line for this!"

Hester took the cake, offering her a soft, genuine smile. "Thank you."

Sabrina walked in, swapped her shoes, and glanced around as she headed further inside. "Wow, it's so quiet in here. Where are Lena and Caden?"

"Julian brought Seraphina over this morning. Caden and Lena went back with them."

Sabrina stopped in her tracks. "Julian actually brought Seraphina here today?"

"Yeah." Hester walked over to the sofa and placed the cake on the coffee table. "What do you want to drink?"

"As if I'd let a pregnant woman serve me!" Sabrina playfully rolled her eyes at her. "You sit down. I'll go grab some plates and forks. Are there drinks in the fridge?"

"Yes," Hester replied. "There's fruit too. Just grab whatever you want to eat or drink."

"Don't worry, I'm going to make myself right at home!" Sabrina flashed an 'OK' sign and marched off toward the kitchen.
