Chapter 1
Chapter 1 begins with a gray sky stretched low over the city, rain misting the windshield as I drive toward the gates of Thornfield Estates. It’s a routine trip now—leave behind the cracked sidewalks and water-stained ceilings of Center Point, and step into a neighborhood where even the air feels cleaner.

He kneels…-

Maggie and the Gardners were handling most of the wedding preparations, but I still found myself with plenty of tasks to manage.
