Meanwhile, at the Watkins' home.
The family of four had just finished dinner. Claudia was in the kitchen washing dishes and chatting with her parents.
"Sis, phone call for you."
Eddy handed Claudia her phone. She glanced at the unfamiliar number.
After a moment's hesitation, Claudia wiped her hands and went to the living room to answer it.
Her brow furrowed when she heard Ann's voice on the other end.
After hanging up, Claudia made an excuse about taking out the trash and went to the neighborhood gate.
When Ann saw Claudia, she approached her with a smile. "Miss Watkins, York told me you were back. I came by specially to see you."
As she spoke, Ann held out a pie and a fruit basket to Claudia.
Claudia's lips curved into a sarcastic smile, and she made no move to take them.
York could abandon his home for a month for Ann's sake, without a word of explanation.
And the moment she returned, he couldn't wait to report it to Ann.
This was true love.
Claudia masked her feelings and said, "I won't be taking those. If you have something to say, just say it."
The two women stood face to face on the sidewalk. Ann set the gifts down.
She stared at Claudia's strikingly beautiful face, a flash of jealousy in her eyes. "I suppose you came back to spend Thanksgiving with your family, Miss Watkins? When are you planning to leave?"
