The little girl looked a bit puzzled, but her mom gently pulled her over.
"Hey, don't go calling people old, honey."
"But Uncle Rupert isn't old! And his wife probably isn't old either," the girl replied innocently.
Sylvia's cheeks flushed. She quickly pulled her hand free from Rupert's and managed an awkward smile.
The girl's mom gave Sylvia a knowing look-she clearly understood, but didn't say a word. Instead, she chuckled. "My husband and I run a little diner over by the university. You should come by sometime if you're free."

As the family of three walked away, Sylvia pressed her lips together, feeling like something important had settled, but not completely. There were still so many questions from her past life—if so much had gone on behind her back, who was she really supposed to blame for what happened to Stella and herself?
She turned to Rupert. "Uncle Rupert, what about Bridget and Caleb?"
"They're at the hospital," Rupert said flatly. "Bridget's face was badly injured, and her leg's broken. Caleb's in a coma. He also got fired for forging signatures and overprescribing meds to patients' families."
Sylvia's eyes widened. "Forging? Did he ever forge your signature?"
Rupert's eyes narrowed, suspicious. "How'd you know that?"
