Arlene’s smile stretched from ear to ear as she chuckled.

“Honey, you’re smitten, aren’t you? No worries. I’ll talk to your dad and we’ll figure this out. I’ll be there in Greenfield to support you, but I need to wrap up a few things here first.”

Judith’s eyes sparkled with glee. She always knew she was her mom’s favorite.

It was still afternoon where Arlene was. She was having a high tea with a group of socialites. They all wore exquisite makeup and dazzling outfits. Some even had fascinators perched onto their coiffed hair – a nod to traditional European fashion.

One of the ladies set down her cup of coffee and turned to Arlene.

“Mrs. Sanders, any luck in finding your sister?”

Arlene shook her head slowly, “No, not yet. It’s been so many years. I fear she might be gone.”

“What a pity! She was a genius in the pharmaceutical field. It’s baffling how she just vanished. And to think she was supposed to become a Sanders by marrying into the family, only to run away the night before the wedding.”

Otherwise, that golden opportunity would never have fallen into Arlene’s lap.

Arlene and her twin sister were like two sides of a coin. While her sister was a prodigy in the pharmaceutical research, making a name for herself at a young age, Arlene was more ordinary. She was like the designated bride groomed by the Abbott family to marry into the wealthy family.

The ladies brought up the missing sister with a mixed expression of envy and nostalgia.
