Watching Quietly

Loretta had a strategy. She would act like it was just a casual visit so that Nicole wouldn’t become suspicious. “I’ll act normal, hang out like I’m just keeping Mom company,” she explained. The goal was to blend in while staying alert, documenting anything that felt out of place.

Michael agreed but warned, “Don’t let on that you’re watching her—just keep an eye on everything.” With that, Loretta packed a small bag and prepared to move into Cathy’s home for the week. They were both determined to find out if Nicole was hiding something—and what that might be.
