“Your mom has been held back terribly all these years,” Warren had said..

His words had made Miranda’s heart sink.

Warren had wanted to meet Mindy in person, but Miranda explained that her mother was in Lumberville

and still under contract with Edith.

Miranda hadn’t wanted to cause any disruption to her mother’s mood, as it might affect her writing. Upon hearing about the contract, Warren had asked for an electronic copy.

“No rush then. I’ll study your mother’s contract first. Feel free to keep me updated on any developments. I’ve decided to sign your mother up!” Warren had exclaimed.

Miranda had felt like she was dreaming when she heard Warren’s words. It had sounded to her that Warren wanted to sign a contract with her mother, but hadn’t he been only interested in signing works, not authors?

She had wondered if he had misspoken or if she had misheard him. Nevertheless, she hadn’t dwelled on it for long.

“Alright, I’ll keep an eye on her.”
