“Cheers to the newlyweds,” Merritt toasted, lifting his glass towards me. I barely had a chance to respond when another familiar voice chimed in, “Sister, best wishes on your new journey.” Before I could turn to Merritt, Nelly’s voice reached me, “Mrs. Ford, congratulations on your wedding!”

Nelly and Gregory were old acquaintances, so her presence wasn’t a surprise.

It’s killing two birds with one stone.” Her last words seemed to carry the most weight, though I didn’t delve further, simply replying, “Thanks for the help.”
