Even though Stewart's eyes felt gritty and sore, he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. "Absolutely! We've got to talk!" Ideas have a way of slipping away if you don't seize them quickly.
"Sounds good." After Charlene had her breakfast, she was about to video call Stewart when Padgett's call cthrough.

Do you have tto swing by and collect them? Or we can set up a time, and I can bring them to you." Charlene had almost forgotten about this whole thing. Her mind was elsewhere these days.
"Thanks, Mr. Padgett. If you could handle that, it'd be great," she replied.

The last tCharlene had visited Irma was the previous Sunday. She and Helena had planned to see Irma in the afternoon.
But Charlene hadn't slept a wink last night, so over lunch, she suggested to Helena they postpone the visit until after dinner.
Helena took one look at Charlene's tired face and nodded. "Sure, let's go after we've eaten." Charlene crashed for a nap and didn't wake up until nearly six. After dinner, she and Helena headed to the hospital.
When they arrived, Thorne was nowhere in sight. Charlene and Helena spent almost two hours with Irma, and just as they were about to leave, Thorne showed up.
He didn't seem surprised to see them, almost as if he expected their visit. As they prepared to go, he politely said, "Thank you for visiting Grandma." Charlene and Helena didn't bother to respond.

As Charlene and Helena stepped into the elevator, Thorne made a move to join them, but Charlene quickly said, "No need to see us off. You should head back." Thorne paused and didn't insist. He didn't push the issue of the property titles either, as if it was just an excuse to chat.

Charlene took the property titles to her room, shoved them into a drawer, and headed straight for the shower. Exhausted from the long day and lack of sleep, she didn't take long to fall asleep afterward. The next morning, Charlene went for a jog downstairs, had breakfast, and headed to work. As she was about to turn her car into the parking garage of the PrimeStar building, she noticed Granger sitting in his car, window rolled down.
Charlene frowned. What on earth was he doing here so early? As far as she remembered, PrimeStar didn't have any meetings scheduled with Granger today.
