Unsure of what to do, Mary decided to call her older sister. She vaguely remembered exchanging some photos with her sister years ago, hoping her sister might have forgotten to return them. Maybe it was all just a simple misunderstanding, she thought, as she dialed the number.
Mary’s sister, Esmerelda answered the phone quickly, and they caught up on each other’s lives. It had been a while since they last spoke. When Mary brought up the missing photos, her sister seemed eager to help, but Mary could sense a hesitation beneath her cheerful tone.
