After an hour–long drive, Valerie arrived at the Palmer house. The butler led her to the living room while Serenity came down from her room. To her surprise, she found herself alone with Celeste–the first time they had been face–to–face since the hospital.

“Yes, one of them will be Martina, and the other will be Flora.”

“Yes, and the other one after my mother. They’re identical. They’re sleeping now, but as soon as they wake up, I’ll take you to meet them,” Celeste said warmly.
