All they get are congratulations on the engagement
Throughout the day, Janet’s phone buzzed with texts and calls from friends offering cheerful congratulations on her engagement. Each well-meaning message only deepened the ache in her chest, a constant reminder of the mystery still hanging over her. “Thanks,” she replied to each one, forcing herself to sound happy even as her heart sank lower. Lucy, noticing the shift in her mother’s mood, gently suggested they take a break from everything and distract themselves with something fun—anything to lift the heaviness, even just for a little while.

Deciding they needed a break, Lucy and Janet spent the day shopping and treating themselves to lunch. They strolled through their favorite stores, laughing, trying on clothes, and enjoying each other’s company without the weight of the investigation looming overhead. Over lunch, they shared stories and exchanged jokes, letting the tension melt away for a little while. “This was needed,” Janet admitted with a smile, savoring the rare moment of peace. It was a welcome and much-needed distraction from the lingering mystery of the ring.
