In the end, Delilah still refused to let Grandma and Flora move into Gavin Vance's lavish penthouse with her.
Raised in the uppermost circles of high society, she knew all too well that a penthouse was nothing but a gilded cage. Once you stepped inside, freedom slipped away like sand through your fingers.

And Grandma had already weathered brutal storms and tasted enough bitterness. She'd finally clawed her way to a peaceful life, so her twilight years shouldn't be wasted stuck beside her in a sealed high-rise where every day bled into the next.
She planned to trade her own presence at Gavin's side for a lifetime of stability and peace for both Grandma and Flora.
