I couldn’t believe that so many things had been completed. I handed the paper and pen back to Trace and he stuck it back in his pocket for safe keeping.
“Ready?” He asked.
I nodded.
Ellie and Lily had returned from their spa day, and everyone was gathered in the family room, where we said our goodbyes. I may have been nervous to meet them, and overwhelmed by the big house, but the Wentworth’s truly were some of the nicest people I had ever met. I hugged Warren for an exceptionally long time. When classes ended, I hoped I’d have time to visit him some.
“Be a good girl now,” he kissed my cheek, “and keep that grandson of mine in line.”
“I will,” I smiled.
“Stop trying to steal my girlfriend, Gramps,” Trace laughed.
“I can’t help it that the ladies can’t resist me,” Warren chuckled warmly. “It’s the cane,” he winked as he hobbled over to Ellie, kissing his wife.
It was clear, that even after all these years, he loved his wife and she loved him. I wanted that and I believed I’d found it in Trace.
