As Lizetta and Remington stepped out of the hospital building, they were about to go their separate ways when his phone rang. "Hey, Grandma," he answered.

It was Fiona Dashiell.

Lizetta paused instinctively, not wanting to eavesdrop, but Remington turned to look at her.

"Yeah, she's here. We're still together."

It was clear Fiona was asking about her.

"Hold on a sec, Grandma. Let me check with her."

Lizetta looked puzzled, and Remington explained.

"Ethan and his wife had a fight, and it got back to Grandma. She heard you're back in Zion City and wants you over for dinner."

Lizetta had kept in touch with Fiona during her four months in Tranquil Meadows, but she hadn't told Fiona about her return this time, not wanting to worry the elderly lady.

She had planned to visit her in a couple of days, after settling down, but she hadn't expected the news of Shirley's family's troubles to reach her first.

She wondered if Fiona would read too much into it.

Seeing Lizetta's hesitation, Remington softly said, "It's okay if you don't want to go. I can tell Grandma."
