Chapter 25 / 30
Chapter 25 - ELEANOR RETURNS TO THE RANCH Spring arrived in Texas.
Bluebonnets covered the Hill Country.
Eleanor finally returned to the Fredericksburg ranch.
Adrienne drove her there herself.
No security convoy.
No private helicopter.
Just the two of them.
Eleanor opened the window.
Country music played.
Adrienne laughed.
“You know Vanessa hated this music.”
“That alone is reason enough to turn it up.”
They laughed together.
For a few miles, Adrienne felt like a child again.
Before billions.
Before betrayal.
May you like
Before fear.
Just a daughter driving with her mother.
