    and once everyone was seated, they headed for the church in silence. Even Olivia was quiet as they rode along. They arrived at the church, just behind the hearse carrying Grant’s body. Four of Grant’s coworkers were waiting by the curb, to be the pall-bearers for the day’s services. When Bella and family stepped out of the limo, they all quietly greeted her. She acknowledged them, then quickly darted into the church as Olivia began to fuss. Once the casket was placed, more guests and mourners arrived. Bella sat in what would normally be the bridal room, nursing Olivia. Amanda and Thomas kept Sophie and Tommy occupied, greeting guests as they arrived. One by one, the church where Bella and Grant were married, filled with mourners and friends. Some asked about Bella’s whereabouts, others expressed their condolences to Grant’s parents. Grant’s sister, Marlee, arrived exclaiming, “Mother! Father! Where’s Bella?” “Feeding Olivia,” said Amanda. “Oh right,” said Marlee, “she and Grant had a baby not too long ago. But why did they name her Olivia?” “That was my idea,” said Sophie, proudly. “Oh, hello Sophie,” said Marlee, surprised. “I didn’t see you there. Where’s your brother?” Sophie pointed, “Over there.” “Ah yes, the spitting image of his father.” “Uncle Zane!” cried Sophie, running toward a tall man in a black suit, entering the church.

Thomas took Zane’s hand and said, “Thomas Hamilton, this is my wife Amanda, and our daughter Marlee.” The two men shook hands and Zane instantly could tell, Grant was very much like his father: forceful, strong, and a real alpha-male. “I do wish we were meeting under better circumstances,” said Zane. “Zane?” Everyone turned to see Bella holding Olivia, with Katherine standing beside her. It was clear to all that Zane’s presence was a surprise to Bella. “Hello Bella,” said Zane. “What… how… when… when did you get back?” she asked. “Last night. Carmen called me and told me when the funeral was.” “Oh,” said Bella, her voice was flat, “that was nice of her.” Olivia squirmed in Bella’s arms. “She’s gotten so big,” said Zane. “Yeah, she slept six hours. I knew she’d sleep past two after a while.” “Bella!” exclaimed a woman behind Zane. Carmen and Miguel stepped up, passing Zane and hugging Bella. “Hello,” Bella said. Carmen turned and smiled. “Zane! Oh I’m so happy were able to make it.” “Hello Carmen. Miguel,” said Zane. “Zane,” said Miguel. The two men shook hands as Carmen said, “She’s ...
