Charlotte Sinclair was hailed as Ashford's top socialite. From childhood, she was raised to believe that she should never let the Sinclair family lose face. After marrying the notorious playboy, Edward Foster, Charlotte obediently gave up her own career and focused all her energy on taking care of Edward's parents. She would always wait for him at home, and after his business dinners, she'd make him a special soup to help sober him up. She would even handle Edward's mistresses who showed up at their door. But on Christmas Eve, Charlotte suddenly did something completely out of character. She sat alone at the table, savoring a lavish dinner all by herself. She didn't spend Christmas Eve with Edward, nor did she go to look after her ailing mother-in-law. The door burst open with a bang, breaking the silence of the night. Edward's veins stood out on his forehead as he forced each word through gritted teeth. "Why didn't you go to the hospital? If the nurse hadn't noticed something was wrong with my mom, she could've died tonight!" Charlotte acted like Edward's anger didn't even exist, helping herself to another bite. She said, "I called you yesterday. You told me you were out of town with Melissa for work, and not to disturb you." As she spoke, her hand shivered slightly, as if she were back on the day her whole body was shattered. Charlotte never told anyone that she had time-travelled back.
