She threw off the blanket and hurried to find Gwyneth, only to see her sitting before the mirror, an indescribable melancholy clouding her features.
“Aunt Gwyneth?”
Leonie rubbed her eyes, and when she looked again, Gwyneth’s expression was back to normal.
“You’re up?”
Gwyneth offered her a gentle smile and stood up. “We’ve been away for a while,” she said softly. “It’s time to go back.”
She had made up her mind. She would go back to Hawthorne, because this wedding had to happen.
She was an adult now and had to take responsibility for her actions and for her family.
Even if this relationship and marriage brought her pain, she was willing to do anything if it could offer her grandfather even a moment of relief.
Leonie cupped a hand to her ear, thinking she’d misheard. “Go where?” she asked again.
“It’s time for you to go home. And I need to go find your uncle.”
What?
Leonie grabbed Gwyneth’s hand, her voice brimming with excitement.
“Aunt Gwyneth, you’re not mad at Uncle Hawthorne anymore? I swear on my life, there’s nothing going on between him and that woman. She’s the one who keeps chasing after him! He might have liked her in the past, but I know that now that he has you, he wouldn’t even look at another woman. You have to believe me.”
Gwyneth just glanced at her.
Fearing Gwyneth didn't believe her, Leonie began to swear a solemn oath. Gwyneth knew nothing about what Hawthorne had really done, and she didn't want Leonie getting caught in the crossfire.
Afraid she might drag her entire family into her vows, Gwyneth quickly stopped her.
“Alright, alright, I believe you. Let’s pack our things and go.”
