From the video David posted, she heard her grandparents’ laughter filling the air, and the beaming smiles of Kenneth and Louisa.
Their smiles were genuine, not a hint of pretense.
She hadn't expected that losing her would have no impact on their lives. They carried on, feasting and toasting, celebrating the
year with such abundance.
A pang of discomfort twisted in Serena's chest. There she was, battered and bruised, freshly snatched from death's clutches, while
her once-loving parents and grandparents laughed heartily without her.
They truly didn't care about her absence.
Serena watched the video over and over, each viewing stinging more than the last. Memories of belongings discarded like trash, of
past joys and happiness, sowed the seeds of resentment deep in her heart.

That wrapping, those flowers—only one florist in the area carried them, and she had taken Romeo there once. To her surprise, he
had not only remembered but also brought flowers to honor Grannie Grace.
"It's Romeo, no need to guess," she declared.
Hearing Arabella's words, everyone was somewhat shocked.
Louisa was especially moved, "Romeo remembered! That boy is so thoughtful."

She messaged Romeo and confirmed it was indeed him who had sent the flowers to Grannie Grace.
Warmth flooded her heart.
