She and Dad never married. She spent her entire life being judged. It was so unfair.”

Grayson pulled her into his arms, his voice steady and warm in a way I’d never heard before

‘Don’t worry, From now on, you’re the lady of this house. No one will ever kick you or your mother out again.”

The butler, the maids–people who used to smile at me, people I thought of as family now bowed low to serena, voices loud and vager:

“Welcome home, Miss.”

They surrounded her, the woman holding that urn, and walked her into the estate that should’ve been my mother’s.
