"Janice is still vacationing on our island. She's really digging it."

Hayes looked a bit let down, but upon hearing that she was happy, he said with a relieved smile, "As long as she's sane and happy, we can rest easy."

In the twenty-something years that Lucy was missing, Janice's life was hell; she was like a walking dead.

Stefan shot his mom a text and in no time, she was on a video call with him.

"Stefan, you free today? Where's Lucy?"

Stefan chuckled, "Mom, I'm at work right now, Lucy's not with me. Are you guys having fun?"

"Absolutely! Why, missing your mom?"

Stefan didn't respond, just chuckled.

Jeannie Coleman knew her son well; she laughed and said, "I know you won't tell me you miss me; your sweet talk is probably saved for Lucy."

"Mom, is Lucy's mom there?"

"Lucy has two moms, who are you asking about? Both are here. One's over there chowing down on seafood, the other one is over there enjoying the sea breeze, watching the sea, pondering life." Jeannie turned the camera to aim at the two women.

Fiona was sitting under a sun umbrella, enjoying seafood and chatting with her husband, both laughing heartily.

Janice was standing not too far away from them, dressed in a plain long dress, her hair fluttering, her back to everyone, gazing into the distance.

That silhouette reminded Stefan of Lucinda.

Lucinda's figure was somewhat similar to her biological mother's, only their faces were different.
