Christine's mom sat on her couch, a worried frown creasing her brow as she glanced at the clock for what felt like the hundredth time that day. It had been a week since her daughter and daughter-in-law had left after their visit, and she hadn't heard a peep from them since. Normally, they would have called or texted by now, just to check in and let her know they had arrived home safely. But the silence was deafening, and it left Christine's mom feeling anxious and unsettled.She tried to push away the nagging thoughts that crept into her mind – thoughts of accidents, emergencies, or worse. But the longer the silence stretched on, the harder it became to ignore those fears. She knew she was probably just being paranoid, but she couldn't help but worry. After all, her daughter and daughter-in-law were her world, and the thought of something happening to them was unbearable.With a heavy sigh, Christine's mom picked up her phone and scrolled through her contacts, debating whether or not
Christine emerged from the bedroom, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern as she watched Robert finish up his phone call with her mother. She could sense the tension in the air, the weight of unspoken words hanging between them like a heavy cloud. As Robert ended the call and set his phone down on the table, Christine couldn't help but notice the troubled look on his face. She knew that her mother had been worried about their recent visit and their lack of communication since they had left. She also knew that her mother had a tendency to be overly concerned about their relationship, often reading too much into small disagreements or misunderstandings. As Robert turned to her with a forced smile, Christine couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. She knew that she had been distant and cold towards her mother lately, and she could see the hurt in Robert's eyes as he tried to reassure her about their well-being. "Oh yes, I'm done talking with your Mom," Robert said, his voice ti
Rachel had fallen asleep with her music still playing softly in the background.

The office buzzed with whispers and murmurs as the news of Christine's birth to triplets spread like wildfire. People gathered in small groups, their voices hushed as they exchanged speculations and gossip about the situation."Hmm, you know Christine used to flirt with the boss when she was working here," one person whispered to another, their eyes darting around to make sure no one overheard them."Yes, you're right. She used to flirt with the boss. I heard they were seeing each other," another person chimed in, a knowing look in their eyes.The gossip continued to swirl around the office, with some people even daring to suggest that the triplets might not be Christine's husband's, but rather the boss's.
