Jo’s mouth fell open. “How did this happen?”“You don’t have to look so surprised.” Leni took one of the bags from the counter to Jo’s refrigerator and started helping her put groceries away.She’d caught a break earlier when Jo had been too distracted by getting her errands started so she could get back home to Frankie as quickly as possible.
