It was Charles's birthday, and she was determined to make it special for him. From what she had heard, this was his first lavish birthday outside his immediate family members.

"Good morning, Mrs. Bert, Mary, Vera!" Grace greeted cheerfully as she entered.

"Good morning, Grace!" they chorused back, their faces lighting up with warm smiles.

As she sighted Grace, Mrs. Bert's smile was as robust and generous as her heart.
