As the car made its way home, Jessica's thoughts were tangled. The weight of the situation pressed heavily on her mind. She had to plot out her next steps carefully, figuring out how best to handle the mood and the timing.
Then, a thought came to her mind —dinner. A casual setting. Everyone would be home, and she could ease into the conversation.
She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Bella's number. It rang just once before Bella picked up.
"Hello?" Bella's voice sounded distracted.
"Bella," Jessica said, keeping her tone neutral, "Come home early tonight. We need are having dinner together"
Bella raised an eyebrow. Jessica was never one to call people home without a reason. She tried to dig for more details, but Jessica wasn't budging. "Why? Is something wrong?"
"Just come home," Jessica replied, her voice firm. "We'll talk later."
Bella, though curious, didn't push it further. Who was she to question her elder sister?
