Chapter XXIV: Something I like

Tess was looking at John not really knowing what to say. She didn’t want to say her sister is there as she wasn’t sure her sister wanted to be found. But then again, how could she lie? Or should she lie?

Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice coming on the hallway behind her:

- I’ll take it from here. Thanks,Tess, said Charlie.

Tess looked from Charlie to John and back to Charlie and then back to John. She held out her hand and said:

- I’m Tess, nice to meet you, John, come in. You can go in the kitchen to talk, I think it’s better there.

- Yes, it is, said Charlie never moving her gaze from John.
