"These cupcakes are delicious," Mary said snapping me out of my thoughts.

Jade, why does that name sound familiar?

"Who is Jade?" I asked and saw Mary look up in surprise, I don't think she realized she mentioned Jade.

"Ummm, J-Jade." she stammered.

"Who is Jade? Mary."

"Jade is my little sister."

I knew that name sounded familiar, I overheard Mary mention it weeks ago.

"She will." Mary half smiled and continued eating her cupcake in silence. Something tells me she is hiding something.

"Mary," Emelia called Mary as she came down the stairs.

"Mary, come help me, I want to make dinner for my HUSBAND." She emphasized her last word.
