Chapter 16

Noticing Tessa’s discomfort, Stephen offered gently, “Take a look around and let me know if you need anything. I’m heading upstairs to take a shower.”

“wait“Tessa called out.

He paused and tumed around. “What is it?”

She opened her backpack and handed him a bottle of milk. “Stephen, could you have this tested? I think something’s wrong with it.”
