“I’ll write you a prescription for a tonic,” Stella said.

“Thank you,” Kieran replied.

A thought hit Chloe like a bolt of lightning.

Oh no.

I forgot Mom is a medical genius–nothing escapes her. Could she have guessed we’d been staying up all night, “studying” together?

promise, Mom! No more overtime,” Chloe replied quickly. She paused. “Mom, another call’s coming in. I’ll come home for soup this weekend–you can make me a tonic too.”

“Alright,” Stella said, laughing softly. Chloe is definitely guilty. I haven’t even said anything.
