Baxter:
I kind of knew when I saw Yuvonne in the living room that Madeline would give me a hard time for it.
I knew she would confront me harshly. Previously, she would have let it slide. Probably questioned me softly.
But she’s a changed woman now, more firm and, simply put, stubborn. The moment I saw Yuvonne out, I knew that was it.
Madeline didn’t eat anything after that. She kept pretending she was busy with the kids, but who was she really fooling?
Only the others who didn’t know the history between us. And when she snatched Bodhi from my arms, it felt like she had hit me with a fire arrow.
I couldn’t go back to my room and rest, not with my mind stuck on how she had acted toward me. So, I decided to confront her.
When I arrived, the sight of her surprised me. She looked hurt.
