The moment the promise leaves her lips, the deadness in Gavin's eyes vanishes, replaced by a brilliant, starry light. He nods emphatically and signs, "Thank you, Grandma." He looks as if he has just been handed the universe.
But as Lindsay watches him, her chest tightens with anxiety. She knows that the "pretty lady" is a walking storm of controversy. Lindsay honestly has no idea what to make of Tara. The rumors swirling around her in high society are wildly contradictory. Some claim she is a cold-blooded sociopath who severed ties with the Dennis family and ruthlessly stole their shares. Others praise her as a brilliant entrepreneur and a top-tier scientist who builds empires from scratch. It is impossible to separate the truth from the gossip.
But there is one undeniable fact: this enigmatic girl managed to break through her grandson's impenetrable walls. Tara is the only person who has ever gotten Gavin to speak. That alone is a miracle.
Unfortunately, there is also the painfully awkward reality that Tara is the sole reason Julianna's engagement to Danny Calhoun was violently terminated. It makes inviting her to the house incredibly messy.
Lindsay sighs heavily. But looking down at the pure, desperate hope shining in Gavin's eyes, she knows she can't say no. After making sure he is comfortable, she retreats to her study and dials Tara's number. She doesn't care about the gossip, and she doesn't care about the broken engagement anymore. Her grandson has suffered enough tragedy in his short life, losing his parents and battling severe autism. If this girl can bring him even a sliver of joy, Lindsay will move heaven and earth to make it happen.
The phone rings a few times before connecting.
