A snort of disdain cfrom Elsa. “That verdict means nothing to me. | refuse to accept it.”
Emmett’s calm didn’t waver; only his eyes betrayed a flicker of contempt. “Doesn’t matter if you accept it or not.

Guessing he might be with Joann, Brenna made her way straight to the hospital.

Near the hospital, Brenna bought sfruit from a stand before heading to Joann’s room.
“Joann?” Brenna said as she entered, finding only Gia, the caregiver, present. “Gia, where's Alec? He is not
here?”
Gia shook her head. “He hasn't dropped by once today. Your grandmother was just asking about him.”
Propped against her pillows, Joann was glued to a sappy romance on her tablet.
