Family in Mayne
Later that night, Angela and Oliver were in the living room with the TV on, but their eyes were glued to their phones. The TV volume was low and he occasionally glanced at it while he kept tapping on his phone screen, responding to emails. Angela had a pillow on the side of his arm and she'd leaned her back against it, her legs sprawled on the sofa while she texted with Nina.
The siblings were on speaking terms, but there was a slight strain after last weekend's conversation. They hadn't spoken about Cynthia since, and Angela didn't actively convince her brother, but deep inside, she really wanted to give her mother a chance.
