What would you do if the unthinkable happened to Zachary? The couple had only been married for a few months, and their wedding had been hastily organized.
“Don’t worry, Liberty. It’s just a cold. He tried to push through it, but it got worse. I’m concerned about him, so I need to see him. I’ll return once he’s feeling better.”
“I’m on my way to the Buchams’ residence now, Liberty. His colleague will arrange a private plane for me.”
Hearing that her brother-in-law had caught a cold eased Liberty’s tension somewhat. She replied, “Then hurry.”
Clive interjected, “I’m driving Serenity to the Buchams’, Liberty.”
“Alright, thank you, Clive.”
Clive and Liberty were born in the same year, but Clive was a few months older.
“Don’t mention it.”
Clive, Alice, and Liberty walked down the stairs with Serenity.
“Aunt Audrey,” Serenity called out, needing to inform Mrs. Stone of her departure. “My husband isn’t feeling well. I have to go take care of him for a few days, so I might not make it back for the party tomorrow night. I’m really sorry, Aunt Audrey.”
The Stones were hosting the party exclusively for the sisters, and Serenity regretted that she would be unable to attend.
Mrs. Stone responded with concern, “How is your husband doing now? It’s alright; you can go care for him. Don’t feel pressured to rush back to the party if you can’t. I don’t want you to wear yourself out. Your sister and Sonny will be here, anyway.”

“It will worsen if I’m not there to watch him,” she said. Mrs. Stone replied, “It’s the same for all the men. How are you getting there?”
