Chapter 20 God, that was humiliating. I’m still reeling from the mortification of Enzo rejecting me while I’m waiting for Cecelia to finish her tap-dancing class. My head is throbbing, and the tapping of little feet in unison coming from the dance classroom isn’t helping matters at all. I look around the room, wondering if anyone else finds it as annoying as I do. No? Just me? The woman in the seat next to mine finally gives me a sympathetic look. Based on her naturally smooth skin, with no signs…-

Chapter 21 By dinner time tonight, the cardboard box Enzo brought into the house is still sitting on the dining table. In the interest of setting the table, I try to move it, but it is very heavy—Enzo made it seem lighter than it was by the way he effortlessly carried it into the room. I’m scared if I try to move it, I’ll accidentally drop it. Odds are good there’s some priceless Ming vase inside, or something equally fragile and expensive. I study the return address on the box again. Evelyn…

Chapter 24 I can’t go to a Broadway show in jeans and a T-shirt—that’s for sure. I checked online, and officially there’s no dress code, but it just feels wrong. Anyway, Andrew said he was going to change, so I need to wear something nice. The problem is, I don’t own anything nice. Well, technically I do. I have that bag of clothing Nina gave me. I hung up the outfits so they wouldn’t get damaged but I have yet to wear any of them. For the most part, they’re all fancy dresses, and it’s…

Chapter 25 It’s a beautiful June evening. I brought a wrap with me, but it’s so warm out, I end up leaving it in Andrew’s car, so I’ve got nothing besides my white dress and my purse that doesn’t match as we wait in line to be allowed into the theater. I gasp when I see the inside of the theater. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this in my lifetime. The orchestra alone contains rows and rows of seats, but then when I lift my head, there are two sets of seats stretching up all the…

For him, this drive is more than just a return home; it serves as a mental preparation for the tasks ahead.

Chapter 29 begins with Nina returning home in the early afternoon after dropping Cecelia off at camp, carrying four large shopping bags from an unplanned spree. She drops the bags unceremoniously in the living room, her excitement palpable as she eagerly begins to share her finds with Millie. Nina's appearance, however, is far from the polished image she might usually project—her clothes are marked with sweat stains, and her hair is disheveled, making Millie question Andrew’s continued affection for…
