Eugene glanced over with a gentle smile. “If you're craving it, I'll bring you again. Next time,e a bit earlier so you can have
dinner with Grandma.”
“Sounds good!” Sylvia grinned, nodding.
She'd half-expected Eugene to bring up Grandma Winters’ illness on the drive back, maybe even use it as an excuse to ask her to
be with him right away. But he never mentioned it. He didn’t try to guilt her or play any games. He just dropped her off at her place

That warmed her, just a little. At least this man was earnest—he wasn’t scheming to get what he wanted.
As she got out of the car, Sylvia smiled. “I had a really wonderful afternoon. Thank your grandma for me, will you?”
“No, | should be the one thanking you for her. She was so happy you came.” Eugene laughed softly, stepping out of the car with
her. “Get srest tonight, okay? | can’t always control how | feel, but | don’t want to pressure you or make you feel burdened.
Don’t overthink things—just have sweet dreams.”
Sylvia chuckled. “Alright. Drive safe!”
“I'll watch you go in.”
She didn’t argue, just waved and headed toward her building.

Eugene's car still parked below.
If she truly wanted to start over, Eugene was a good option. Despite growing up in the tangled mess that was the Winters family,
he'd managed to keep his heart open and honest. That said a lot about his character.
But the veryplexity of the Winters family would be a test for both of them.
Sylvia let out a soft laugh. If she really did end up with Eugene, their future together probably wouldn't be easy.
Then again, she was never one to shy away from a challenge—her life had never exactly been a smooth ride.
She opened a bottle of wine, leaned against the window, and drained her glass in one go.
