“What do you mean?”
“Well, there’s a something more going on. That’s why Mom is so obsessed with the photos.”
“Do you know what it is, Sweetie?”
“Aunt Rachel is putting together the slideshow for Dad’s work celebration. Dad’s office asked her to handle the family part, and Mom’s been sending her pictures.”
That was the moment a dark cloud darkened my entire view of what happened that day.
“And?”
“Mom asked me and Noah to help find family photos too. But she kept skipping the ones with you in them. Or cropping those.”
I said nothing.
Lily did.
“She told me the slideshow should focus on Dad’s real household.”
That was the moment a dark cloud darkened my entire view of what happened that day.
