"What’s wrong with you?" Jessa asked, stepping into the restaurant and catching Allison sighing deeply at one of the tables. Her steps slowed, and instead of figuring out a way to yell at everyone before breakfast, she sat across from her.
Allison looked up at Jessa as she settled in. "It’s nothing, Jess."
"It doesn’t look like nothing." Jessa arched a brow, crossing her arms under her chest. "What did your husband do this time, Allison?"
