But he still could not figure out its meaning and what Jane was trying to say.

Hugh texted, [Janie, I give up. Does this photo… mean anything?]

She found a video she had seen when scrolling through the app in her spare time.

She forwarded it to Hugh.

Hugh saw that Jane had sent him a link.

He clicked on it.

In the video, a female was speaking.

Her tone sounded gentle.

He could not control it.
