Marissa’s kind eyes rested on Ellinor. “No worries, sweetheart. I just came to check on you. I heard you took the kids to the amusement park yesterday. You must be worn out, right?”

Ellinor shook her head. “Not at all; they were pretty well-behaved. Come on in, Grandma.”

Marissa peeked into the room, noticing that the kids were still peacefully asleep. She shook her head. “I’d better not disturb their sweet dreams. But there’s something I need to discuss with you.”

Marissa sighed deeply. “The Wesley family’s daughter, Belinda Wesley, is getting married in a few days, and they’ve invited us. But your grandpa and I aren’t in the best of health, so we thought we might sit this one out. Could you deliver the wedding gift on our behalf? Belinda is Theo’s favorite niece, and with Theo gone, I’m afraid it’s you who’ll have to bear this burden.”

So that was it.

Ellinor nodded readily. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’m close to Belinda and her groom-to-be. It’s not a burden at all; it’s something I should do.”
