That night, I passed the guest room to pick up a sweater in the hallway closet. Mom’s door was ajar, and her voice escaped from the inside.
“As soon as the formalities are settled, honey, everything will be fine. Just make her smile. »
A man laughed on the other end of the line — a warm, familiar, relaxed laugh.

Je me suis figée devant la porte de la chambre d’amis.
La voix de maman s’est glissée à travers l’interstice.
“As soon as the formalities are settled, we act quickly. The joint account should be opened in the first week. »
The laughter on the other end of the phone was his.
