We’re getting married tomorrow afternoon.
MARGARET
That’s very soon.
ME
That’s how much I love her.
MARGARET
Loren? Or the grumpy cat?
ME
Ha ha.
MARGARET
You should visit more often. I’m quite funny, you know. But if you and Loren are trying to deceive me, I will learn of it. And I won’t see any humor in the situation.
ME
Marrying Rosalind would’ve been the lie.
MARGARET
Not if you’d wed her with your eyes wide open. Money is a powerful motivator, and from what I’ve learned, your future wife has little of it. Rosalind, on the other hand, has only the best intentions for both the Adams and Barrington families.
ME
Believe me, Loren’s intentions are pure. Family means everything to her.
MARGARET
Devotion to family? My, my. How admirable.
Loren
ME
Hey, Noah. I was wondering if you could recommend a good residential contact over at Havenwood. I’ve been thinking my dad would do really well in their memory care wing, but I’m not sure how easy it is to get a spot. Any advice would be so appreciated.
NOAH
Hey, Loren! I agree Harlan would do great at Havenwood, but you’re right about the place being in high demand. Especially the regular rooms. There’s a pretty long wait list unless you can afford a private villa. Those are out of budget for a lot of folks. Sorry if that’s rude … but I don’t want to get your hopes up if finances are tight.
ME
As it turns out, I have someone willing to help out with that. My friend Bridger. You met him.
NOAH
Ahhh. Okay, great. Let me see what I can find out. I think your best bet will be talking to Joanna Parker. I’ll send you her direct email.
ME
You’re amazing. TYSM! I know this all probably seems out of the blue, but my dad loves you, and I’d love for you to still be able to work with him.
