She had worked hard to sow discord between the two, only for Gerard to undo it with a mere photograph and bracelet, making Janet forget all the troubles.
Edna was convinced that Gerard’s trip to Cloudcrest was to see Carole, and she would never believe otherwise

“Will do. My niece keeps talking about getting into Capital University. If she makes it, I let you know.”
Gerard’s lips curved into a faint smile as he read the message.
Being Nanson’s family must be nice.
He wondered if his own mother had any siblings. If so, he might also have an uncle
What would his uncle be like? Like Nanson?
Lost in thought, Gerard eventually texted back, “I’ll be waiting for you in Capital City.”
“It’s late. Get some sleep.”
“Goodnight, Mr. Yeager.”
After sending the message, Gerard headed off to the bathroom for a shower,
