Laura arrived home, and though the drive had given her time to calm down, she was still shocked by everything she had said. She had researched Alice George before, but she never imagined she would actually use that information to intimidate her.

Without meaning to, she had proven that a part of her was like her mother. She didn’t want to admit it—she had noticed certain harsh tendencies in herself since childhood but she had always chosen to stay reserved to avoid trouble. Back then, she didn’t have anyone to back her up.

“Laura, Laura… what the hell have you done?” she muttered to herself.

“What kind of mess have you gotten yourself into, girl?” a voice interrupted her thoughts.

“Grandpa!” Laura spun around, startled. “How much did you hear?”

“Enough to know that you did something,” Magnus said, taking a sip of his drink.

“Hmm… Have you ever said or done something without even knowing why?” Laura asked, still trying to process everything.

“I suppose I have. I’m old, so my memory isn’t what it used to be, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got a long list of things like that. Why, sweetheart?”

“Well… Is Dad home?”

“No, he went out with Diana and Adele.”

“Oh, great! I was hoping to see my daughter, and she’s out running around.” Laura laughed softly.

“You know how she is–if it’s not Maximus, it’s Paul or Maurice taking her somewhere. Even Emma takes her out sometimes. That child is never in one place for long.”

“She’s very lucky…”

“She is. She has a big family that loves her. Just like you do.”

“Well… Now, maybe. Before? Not so much.”

“I know. Your father has told me about it, and trust me, it kills him.”

“Yeah… He’s made that clear to me a million times. I don’t hold it against him anymore.”

“Alright, enough changing the subject. Tell me, what did you do?”
