My MIL Gave Me a Necklace Made of Tiny Baby Bottles and Pacifiers Knowing I Couldn't Have Children – What My FIL Did Next Silenced the Room

I couldn't tell whether she was being playful or whether I was already looking for trouble.

For almost an hour, she behaved like a normal person.

But she also brought flowers.

Actual nice flowers.

She complimented the pasta.

She asked my sister about work without interrupting her.

I started thinking maybe Thomas had finally gotten through to her.

For almost an hour, she behaved like a normal person.

That hour of good behavior made the box seem even more dangerous.

I started thinking maybe Thomas had finally gotten through to her.

Maybe she understood.

After dinner, we brought out the cake.

Susan clapped louder than anyone.

Thomas cut the ribbon from the bakery box and left the scissors beside it.

Everyone sang.

I blew out the candles.

Susan clapped louder than anyone.

I remember looking at him as his expression changed.

Then she slid the velvet box across the table.
