Scars Of A Broken Bond

During their chat, Lena inquired, “Sabrina, have you decided on a kindergarten for Jennie?”

“Not yet. Jennie wants me to go with her this afternoon,” Sabrina said. “I think it’s a good idea to consider the kindergarten Frankie attended. It would be nice if they could attend the same school.”

Sabrina agreed. “Sounds great. I’ll take Jennie to have a look this afternoon. If she likes it, I’ll settle it down.”

Lena smiled, then hesitated before broaching a different topic. “I heard Tyrone had adopted Jennie. Jennie’s so fond of you. Is there something between you and Tyrone? Are you thinking of reconciling?”

Sabrina was quick to clarify. “Lena, you’ve misunderstood. I only care about Jennie.”

“I see.”

Sabrina noticed the unease in Lena’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong, Lena?”

Lena took a sip of water and placed the glass on the table. She lowered her eyes and sighed. “I overheard him talking to that woman again yesterday,” she said softly.
