Their gazes locked, and as Kristin approached Estrella, she seemed oblivious to Isaac’s presence, her eyes filled with only her daughter-in-law.

With a radiant smile, Kristin reached Estrella and called out her name again. Estrella stood up from her chair and said, “Hi Kristin.”

“You’ve been back for a while, haven’t you? I’ve been meaning to invite you over for dinner but just couldn’t find the right moment. When you were ill, I visited you twice at the hospital. You were sleeping both times. By the time I went again, you had already been. discharged.”
