A month went by after the funeral. Life was in no way normal, but just when Melany had begun getting used to her new normal, she received some news that set her off again. It wasn’t bad news, but it overwhelmed her and sent her all the way back in her feelings.

Kameron and Nadia had hung onto this for a few weeks waiting on the right time to tell her. She stayed in her room less and played with Noemi from time to time. He thought she was ok and told her she was the new steward of the Cho Estate. It was great news. She now had access to a large sum of money as well as a beautiful mansion she could live in if she wanted. But her reaction was surprising and upsetting. He’d never seen her so unhinged before. Was it too soon? He glanced at Nadia hoping she’d have a silver bullet, but she looked just as clueless as he. This was new territory for all of them.
