**That Night**

It was well past midnight, yet the guests at the Jordan household showed no signs of leaving.

Mrs. Jordan brought up a bowl of bird's nest soup to the upstairs bedroom, her smile gentle and caring. "You head off to sleep, dear. I'll ask them to keep it down so they won't disturb you." Amiee nodded, "Thanks, Mom!"

Sitting at the edge of the bed, Mrs. Jordan's well-preserved skin glowed softly as she watched Amiee. "Finding someone you love and marrying them is the luckiest thing in the world. I wish you all the happiness and fulfillment."

Amiee's eyes were calm and warm, "I will!"

"I and your father haven't set the best example in marriage," Mrs. Jordan said softly, looking down. "Your change in behavior afterward had a lot to do with us, and for that, I am truly sorry."

In that moment, Amiee felt she understood her mother better.
