Edwin’s face filled the screen, his smile beaming.

“Hannah! You finally decided to call.

I was starting to think you had disappeared.

“Stop it, you doomsayer.

Edwin clutched his head, feigning pain.

“Have you no shame? I invited you over for dinner, and this is how you treat your host?”

“Hannah…” Lydia’s voice wavered as she looked into the camera, her eyes welling up.

“When are you coming back? Both Grace and I miss you terribly.

Grace looked somewhat uncomfortable at being seen on the screen.

Hannah gave Grace a warm smile.
