Chapter 258: First Official Address as Prime Ministerial candidate

In a quiet house near Chelsea Old Church, Savannah Chandler stirred awake from her afternoon nap. The councillor of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea had grown accustomed to these moments of stillness. Politics had once consumed her, but now, in her later years, life often felt more like a gentle drift toward retirement.

Savannah’s journey had not begun in politics. She was once a schoolteacher, content with a quieter path. But after her father’s death, the party had pressed her to stand for his vacant council seat. Reluctantly, she joined politics and couldn’t leave. Her father’s reputation for honesty and his deep bond with the community carried her through election after election. She was his only child, and with his passing, all his legacy... both political and personal... had passed into her hands.

Over time, Savannah had carved her own popularity. Even when she had once thought of stepping down, her voters refused to let her go. She remained, the familiar face of the borough, even though the rival party always dominated national contests in her constituency.

Her private life, however, had grown quieter. Widowed young, she had raised her two children largely on her own. Her son, now a Major in the Army, had a family of his own. Her daughter had married an American Businessman and settled in Hawthorne, California. These days, the house often felt too big for one woman and her memories.

The shrill buzz of her mobile phone shattered the drowsy calm. She blinked, pushed her glasses onto her nose, and reached for the device on the side table. The call had been going for some time; it must have been what dragged her from sleep.

The screen lit up with a familiar name. Her daughter.

Savannah swiped to answer. Her voice was still heavy with sleep, threaded with sudden worry. "Hello, sweetie... has something happened? You’re calling this early."

On the other end came a light laugh. "No, Mom. It’s already past eight here. We’ve been up for hours."

Savannah exhaled, the tension easing from her shoulders. "Oh, good. Everything’s all right then. You usually don’t call me in the morning. So... what’s up?"
