ELODIE'S POV~ Grandma Miller's voice was warm on the other end of the line. "Your uncle is back. Brought some gifts for you. Do you have time to come over for a meal?" I glanced at Nonna, who was watching me with curious eyes. "I'm with Liora at the old house right now," I said. Nonna had mentioned earlier that she wanted us to stay at the manor. She wanted us to pick fruits in the garden. And spend time together. Grandma Miller persisted to see us while trying to give other reasons. Nonna who was busy trying to pick up some fruits right over the table, pretended not to be invested in the discussion going over the phone call between grandma and I. Her face was blank. But when she heard why Grandma Miller was calling, her expression softened. After the call ended, Nonna looked at me.
