Chapter 95 - Chapter 095 – Elaine’s Turn

No holiday pressure.
No audience.
No pearls.
She brought nothing.

She said, “I am not asking to come back into your will.”
“Good.”
“I am asking if someday I can come back into your kitchen without Naomi present.”
That hurt in a clean way.
“I don’t know.”
She nodded.
“I can wait.”
Those three words mattered.
She had never been good at waiting for anyone else’s pace.
