[Hello Serenity, I'm sure by now you know the truth. I just want you to know that you are my niece, and I'm sorry if I ever saw you differently. I want you to know that I'd like to meet you and get to know you.
You are my late brother's daughter. You're a Palmer, and nothing would make us happier than for you to be part of our family. You should know that we always searched for you, but we could never find you or your mother. You two are all we have left of Peter, and I don't want to lose contact with you.

You had a good woman by your side, and you destroyed her That woman is my mother, and if you so much as try to approach her again, I promise you'll regret it. You'll learn to respect Hunt women the hard way.
Bye.] She reread the email for a few moments, then hit "Send." Her words had been written in the heat of anger, fueled by the contempt she felt for the man who had hurt her gentle mother. Valerie was a woman who deserved admiration, not pain. Though her mother sometimes showed her strong-willed side, she was almost always serene, kind, and nurturing. Valerie had raised her and her siblings with care, managed her business, and still found a way to balance her professional and personal lives. Serenity finally understood just how admirable her mother truly was.
"Oh, Mom, how much pain did you have to endure because of that wretched man?” she whispered, her throat tightening as tears welled in her eyes.
