Yet beneath his composure, his smooth veneer was clearly cracking, fraying at the edges. It only deepened my suspicion that this family dynamic hid more than met the eye—secrets rattling quietly behind closed doors.

When Mrs. Jenkins returned, I noticed her avoid our gaze, her eyes darting everywhere but toward us—a clear sign of unease, maybe even guilt. Something obvious was being held back. “Hope we’re not keeping you,” I said lightly, trying to coax her into revealing more. Her replies came with a smile, but it felt forced, a thin veil over the truth. It was evident she was hiding far more than simple poor hospitality.
