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.”

Belinda is Theo’s favorite niece, and with Theo gone, I’m afraid it’s you who’ll have to bear this burden.”
