When Deb returned home after caring for her mother, something felt off in her house. Despite her efforts, she couldn’t pinpoint the source of her unease until her parrot, Pippy, revealed a shocking truth that prompted her to review the home security footage.

Working from home had been a blessing, especially during her mother’s hospitalization for surgery. There was no question that Deb had to be by her mother’s side during this time.

Her husband, Nick, assured her that he would manage things at home, even though he had a brief work trip planned for the following week. Nick often traveled for work, and to keep Deb company, he had gotten her a talking parrot named Pippy.

During Deb’s absence, her best friend Camila would keep Nick company, ensuring he was looked after and the parrot was fed.

When Deb arrived at her mother’s house, she was nervous but determined to support her through the surgery and recovery.

The days were spent caring for her mother and ensuring everything was in order at home for her return.

After two weeks, Deb was ready to return home. She missed her husband and the comfort of their home, despite the emotional toll of caring for her mother.

Upon her return, Deb began preparing for a dinner party with friends, eager to reconnect and share stories.
