around her belly. She was nervous and it showed.

Ada simply nodded without raising her eyes.

“So, in your own words, tell us exactly what happened in the room with Ann.”

Ada took a shaky breath as Ann turned her gaze toward where she stood. Their eyes

met for the briefest of moments and all Ann saw was the pure unadulterated hatred

that burned there, before it was quickly replaced with the all too familiar, doe-eyed

innocent look that usually graced her features.

“Well, we went to see Ann with the intention of smoothing things over. I at least

wanted to try one more time to make peace with her. I know I did wrong, and if I could

deeply and raised her eyes to glance at Ann as if she truly meant what she said.

her…more of a symbolic gesture. I wanted to do something nice for her… to show

how sincere I was. So I put together a list of treats that she enjoyed as a child and

spent a few days putting the gift basket together for her.” Ada continued quietly with a

wistful smile.

“Anyway, we sat and talked a while, Ann wasn’t happy about us showing up

unannounced, but she hadn’t thrown us out, so I thought that there was some hope at

least for a reconciliation… as did my mother. She left to get coffee and find Ann’s

a*s*sistant… Emma, I think her name was… and as soon as she left… that was when
