Amara felt a chill run through her heart. Last night's unexpected events had left her confused, making her think something between her and Finnian had changed. But how could that be? Clearly, Finnian's heart still belonged to Liliana!

Suddenly, she felt pathetic. She couldn't keep going on like this.

"Ama, I'm sorry! When that rascal gets back, I'll make sure to give him a piece of my mind, just to make it up to you."

"Grandpa, please don't. Finnian and I aren't meant to be. His heart is with Ms. Porter, and we're just not right for each other. You should start preparing yourself to welcome Ms. Porter."
