Emily wasn’t sure what to expect from a meeting with him, but the thought of finally bringing the lost brother of her late husband into the fold felt like the right thing to do. The next morning, she sat at her kitchen table, nervously drafting the message to George.
She explained that it would mean a lot to her if he could join for dinner since she had a lot of questions to ask. Emily wasn’t sure if this would be the beginning of a new chapter, or just another awkward meeting, but she felt like this was the only way to move forward.
After sending the message, Emily put her phone down and tried to focus on her day, but her mind kept wandering. She found herself standing in front of a mirror, adjusting her clothes and thinking about what she was doing.
Was this all too much? She had so many questions. Would George be ready to meet Margaret? Was he going to be open to learning about his past? Her phone buzzed, snapping her out of her thoughts.
