“Follow me to the courthouse later.” At the dining table, Natalie took a sip of milk before saying to Jared who was cutting into his omelet across from her.

“I will,” Jared responded without missing a beat.

Shane, who was seated at the head of the table, put down his coffee and looked at Shane. “Are you feeling better?”

Natalie knew that he was asking about her emotional status. Arching her lips into a smile, she replied, “Mm-hmm. I am. It’s time to move on instead of allowing myself to be overcome by grief. Mom’s death can’t be undone. Being sad about it isn’t going to change anything, so I might as well step out and continue living my life.”

“I’m glad you think that way, madam,” beside her, Mrs. Wilson commended with a smile.

Shane felt relieved that Natalie managed to pull through so quickly.

Natalie turned her attention back to Jared. “You too, Jared. Don’t make me worry about you. Your heart…”

“Don’t worry, Nat.” Jared cracked a soft smile at her. “I know.”

“Good.” Natalie nodded.
