"You-" Charlene didn't hold back out of reluctance or indifference. However, Irma viewed it as Charlene being considerate, not wanting to put Thorne in a tough spot.

Jasmine hugged Thorne's leg. "Daddy, will you be htonight?" Thorne ruffled her hair. "Yes." There was still no direct communication between Charlene and Thorne. After getting Jasmine into the car, Charlene waved goodbye to Irma and drove off.

With new neighbors moving in, especially across from them, Maisie remarked while helping carry the gifts, "Hope the new neighbors are easy to get along with." If not, the days ahead might prove to be challenging.
Inside the house, Maisie served Charlene a chicken soup. "I heard from Helena you've been a bit worn out lately.
I had someone make this soup for you. Take some. It's good for your health." Charlene took the bowl, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Maisie." Busy with work, Charlene's Uncle Vernon only returned hfor dinner.
