Darcie hesitated for a moment. She was sure Trevor had taken it before she let go. ‘Did he do that on purpose?’ she thought.

Thoughts of the plane crash filled her mind, and she was about to speak when a voice from afar interrupted.

“What’s happening?”

Wenham had just finished paying his respects to his late wife. He was startled when he heard the commotion and walked over to see what was going on.

He looked at his sister affectionately and said, “Sorry, sis.”

Stella chuckled, “I think I’ve had my fill of Darcie’s cooking for now. I couldn’t have finished that bowl of oats anyway. Let’s take the broken dish as a sign of good luck.”

Wenham joined in, “Agreed. I’ll have Sandra clean it up while you get Jaylene to come down and receive her present.”
