In the living room, Morgan Joyce's mother was happily chatting with Judith Zane. A young woman was sitting beside them.
"Mrs. Cole, when did you get back?"
Hannah Hale came down from the second floor, asking the question with a faint smile that revealed her dimples.
Rona Cole kindly took Hannah Hale's hand and had her sit down beside her. "I haven't seen you in years. Our little girl has gotten so beautiful."
"Oh, Mrs. Cole, you're too kind. By the way, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I would've picked you up from the airport."
"It was a last-minute decision. I wanted to give you all a surprise. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is Serena Lynn."
Hannah Hale nodded with a faint smile. "Hello."
"Hi, Hannah Hale. Back when I was in Wesland, I often heard Cole talk about you."
