When Cecelia discovers her mother-in-law has been opening her personal packages without permission, she decides enough is enough. But what happens when Martha’s snooping habit leads her to discover something she’ll wish she never saw? Can one carefully planned delivery change everything forever?
Five months pregnant and glowing, I thought my life was finally perfect.
Well, almost perfect.
I had my dream husband, Arnold, who still brought me coffee in bed every morning and rubbed my feet when they swelled. I had our little house with the white picket fence that we’d saved years to afford. I even had the nursery half-painted in soft yellow because we wanted the gender to be a surprise.
The only thing standing between me and complete happiness was my mother-in-law, Martha.
Don’t get me wrong, Arnold is everything I could ask for in a husband.
He’s patient, funny, and incredibly supportive of my pregnancy cravings.
Last week, he drove 20 minutes to get me pickle ice cream at midnight without a single complaint. But when we got married and I moved into his house, I inherited something I wasn’t quite prepared for.
His mother.
Martha had been living with Arnold for three years after his father passed away.
At 65, she was sharp as a tack and twice as stubborn. The problem wasn’t that she lived with us.
The problem was her complete inability to respect boundaries, especially when it came to packages.
It didn’t matter if it was UPS, FedEx, or Amazon. The woman had her eyes on all kinds of deliveries. She’d hear that truck rumbling down our street and sprint to the door like she was competing in the Olympics.
