When I reached the estate, my thoughts were no longer tangled in worries about Luke or Anna. My mind turned instead to my grandmother.

If I had known that last week before the wedding would be the final time I saw her, I would have spent every moment with her. I would have made sure to cherish those last days. Now, nearly a month had passed. I wondered if her health had improved at all.

Luke arrived at the estate and asked for permission to see Penelope. After getting the nod, he stepped inside, a warm smile on his face.

"Penelope, I've come to visit."

Fearing that his delay might be noted, he quickly added, "I got held up with some matters. I sent Chloe ahead to check on you. How are you feeling?"

Penelope didn't respond. Instead, a glass flew through the air, aimed directly at Luke.
