Barclay stood frozen in place, like he'd been struck by lightning.

Morwenna got married? No, it was Stuart who got married?

Barclay looked utterly crestfallen.

Knowing that Stuart was married and that Adelaide was no longer an option, Barclay's heartache was clear.

Barclay was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice his phone buzzing incessantly.

"Barclay! What have you done this time, blowing through a million bucks? Was it for that manipulative Adelaide again? How did I end up with such a blockhead for a son? Get back here this instant!" Snapping back to reality, Barclay quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece, embarrassed that Morwenna overheard his mom's tirade.
