Evelyn sat up in bed flipping through her design sketches , but her mind kept drifting . Ryan came out of the shower , hair damp , and leaned into the curve of her neck . " Penny for your thoughts ? " She didn't answer . He turned off the bedside lamp and wrapped his arms around her . " I heard ... before he left , he had Vanessa committed . Even sold the Caldwell estate . " Raindrops tapped against the windowpane . Evelyn let out a quiet sigh . Seeing the concern in his eyes , she smiled and reassured him , " I'm not sad . Just ... thinking how strange life can be .
