Dormant memories resurfaced. Fragments flashed through Nelly’s mind, and she remembered those desperate, tear–filled eyes that haunted her dreams.

Her voice cracked as she said, “Minnie was kidnapped because someone was seeking revenge. How does that have anything to do with me? Just because I was with her when we went out? They pinned her disappearance on me–do you think that’s fair?

Recalling how much Fiona had recently become fixated on “Seven Days“, Sam offered Nelly a suggestion. “Grandma has been very taken by a mystery novel called ‘Seven Days. If you could get a signed copy. especially one personally addressed to her, it might lift her spirits.”

As he saw her expression lighten, he added a precaution, “You know how Grandma is, so take it slow. When you get the signed copy, let me know first, and I’ll help with the arrangements…” He wanted to avoid anything backfiring.
