223 Chapter 223

I sat stoic, staring at a spot on the carpet a few feet in front of me. I felt Brandon shift so that his arm was around me, but I didn't look up. I didn't know what to think or feel.

"Well, that is shocking," Mom muttered, as she handed the letter to Dad, who had tears in his eyes. I could see them twinkling when I finally pulled my eyes off the carpet long enough to look at him. I dropped my eyes again. My dad didn't cry often, but I couldn't blame him for shedding some tears over his own mother.

"I know it's all very surreal. I am having a little trouble accepting it myself." Cadence said, sniffling. I glanced over at her, wondering what it had been like to walk into Grandma's house. I still didn't know where Cadence had been before that, when she'd met up with Aaron, anything about her secret mission. I reclaimed the spot on the floor.
