I didn't even know the old house had been signed over until the County Recorder's Office called me. The new owner was Charlotte Lane. The woman my husband, Edward Shaw, never got over. I was clutching my phone, heading to find Edward, when I heard his voice coming from the study. He said, "The paperwork's done. Once the district residency investigator finishes their home visit, Leo will be able to enroll without any issues. "I'll handle Lucia." I froze in the doorway. That old house was the last thing my parents left me before they died in a car accident. It was also the only place my grandma still knew after she got Alzheimer's. Then Edward's voice came again. "I'll arrange for someone to take her grandma away. "She's so confused now. Does it really matter where she stays? "We can't let the kid's school enrollment get delayed." That was when it hit me. In Edward's eyes, other people's kids had a future, and his first love had a safety net. But me and my grandma? We were just collateral damage.
