Emily continued to smile even after the call ended. She was not expecting to feel so happy after speaking with a stranger, but her gut told her Clara was not a bad person either.
"Okay, so what is with that smile?" Derek inquired about joining his mother on the couch.
Emily decided to watch television while Derek excused himself to the kitchen to bring them the dessert they bought on their way home from the mall.
But now that he was back, Derek noticed his mother smiling to herself, which was unusual to see.
"It is nothing. I just received a call from the woman whose wallet is with me. She said she would like to thank me in person and asked if it was okay to meet.
Derek had no idea Emily had been speaking about Clara. He was so unconcerned that he did not even look into the wallet his mother was talking about.
"Are you sure you will be okay on your own?" Derek inquired.
