On the fourth attempt to reach Jeffrey over the phone, he still didn’t pick up. Heather finally had to

While sitting on the sofa in her hotel room, Heather meticulously contemplated where to start

dead, and in this world, all she has left is me, her father, and you her sister. My health hasn’t been the

grievances. Don’t let the issues of our generation affect you.”
“Dad, do you two keep in touch?” –
“She wants nothing to do with me. But I’ve been to her mom’s grave and managed to get her current
phone number.”
Heather’s eyes lit up. “Quick” Tell me her number!”
Afraid that Maxton might suspect something, she quickly added in a soft tone. “Dad, you’re night. We

couldn’t give her that. He’d just tell her mother to put up with it a while longer, saying that Bella would
soon be gone.
And that while turned into decades
