How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue
Chapter 14
"You didn't know?" The old lady immediately caught on that something was off, her tone prickling with irritation. "I booked a two-day getaway for you and Jarrod at Mount Serene just a couple of days ago. Yesterday, I asked Jarrod about it and he said he already gave you the tickets."
Elodie blinked in surprise-Jarrod hadn't mentioned any of this to her.
It couldn't be more obvious: he had no intention of going on a trip with her and had simply lied to appease his grandmother.
"Grandma, it's just that I have something urgent to take care of, so—"
"It's the weekend! What could possibly be so important?" Her grandmother wasn't having it. "Don't you cover for that rascal. Here's what's going to happen: you're going, and I'll call that boy and make sure he gets there too. I've planned everything, so just get a move on."
Elodie tried to protest. "Grandma, actually, Jarrod and I already—"
"What about you two?" The old lady's tone softened, concern replacing annoyance.
It was clear she still didn't know about the divorce. Apparently, Jarrod hadn't told the Silverstein family yet. Otherwise, why would his grandmother bother arranging something like this for the two of them?

The papers were signed; the divorce would be official soon enough. There'd be time to let Grandma adjust.
After a moment of deliberation, she caved. "It's nothing, Grandma. I'll head over now. Jarrod told me about it."
