Celeste found her book after Jordyn had left. With the book in hand, she sat by the large window on the second floor and started reading.

Half an hour later, Martha brought up a bowl of herbal medicine. “Oh, there you are, Cel.”

Celeste put away her book and took the bowl. “You didn’t have to bring it up, Grandma. I would’ve come down if you’d called me.”
