Fatal Judgment
“As the three Taylor siblings finished their rousing if off-key rendition of the familiar ditty and the waiter delivered a cake glowing with candles, Eleanor Taylor beamed at them. “This is the nicest Saturday night I’ve had in years. And I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present—all my children with me to celebrate.”
Jake grinned at his mother, pleased to see her so happy. “You didn’t think you’d get rid of us just by moving to Chicago, did you? We’re not that easy to shake.”
She smiled and ...shook her head. “As if.”
“Make a wish, Mom,” Alison encouraged.
“And make it good,” Cole added. “You only get one shot at this every year.”
She looked around the table. “My wish has already come true. But I think I’ll make one for all of you.” Taking a deep breath, she blew out the candles.
“Wow! Now I know where Alison gets all her hot air.” Cole winked at his mother and grinned at his sister.
Alison countered by jabbing an elbow in his ribs.
