Chapter 28
Chapter 28 begins with a question I barely realize I’m asking, my words looser than they should be after three glasses of sauvignon blanc. As the car winds down from the country club, everything feels quiet—too quiet—but Eddie’s sigh fills the stillness. I ask if he’s worried, and while his answer isn’t entirely clear, the tension in his voice speaks volumes. His hand finds my knee briefly before returning to the wheel, his face shadowed in the dim dashboard light. There’s a tiredness around…-

Chapter 27
Chapter 27 begins with an everyday question that carries more weight than it seems: which dress to wear. I hold up three options—an understated cream dress, a sleek black one, and a standout plum piece from Bea’s Southern Manors collection. That last dress means something. It represents Bea’s legacy, the brand, the woman I’m still trying to understand. But when Eddie glances at my choices and picks the cream one without hesitation, I nod and comply, even though a small part of me sinks. It’s…-

Chapter 26
Chapter 26 begins with me walking into a place I once avoided at all costs—the church where John Rivers works. It’s not one of the grand Southern churches that stretch across whole blocks; this one looks more like a forgotten government building. Its brick walls are dull, the only indication of holiness being the stained-glass window where Jesus stands among lambs. I’ve put on a carefully chosen outfit—blue pleated skirt, crisp white blouse, matching ballet flats—something that looks polished…-
