This Changes Everything
““What were you girls up to?” Momma used her “all-knowing” voice.
Somehow she always knew when Ellie was doing something she wasn’t supposed to.
They turned to each other, trying to look innocent. “Nothing.”
Ellie’s mother gave them each a cookie. “Nothing, hmm?” She poured glasses of milk and set them in front of the girls. “I’d quiz you more, but I have to make an important phone call in Daddy’s office. You girls stay in here and eat your cookies.”
They nodded, their mouths too full to answer.
Ellie watched her mother walk out of the kitchen. “Momma never goes in Daddy’s office. She uses the phone in here.”
“Maybe she doesn’t want you to hear it. She said it was important.”
“Yeah.” Ellie took another nibble. Momma had been acting strange the last few days after she’d gone to Charlotte. Ellie sucked in her breath. Claire was acting strange.
Fear flooded Ellie’s body.
Were Momma and Daddy getting a divorce too?
She wasn’t going to sit around waiting to find out.
