Rosalynn felt a twinge of anxiety, and she had a restless night.
Since Wayne had no commitments in the morning, he took Cory and Ivy to school.
After breakfast, Rosalynn went straight to Penn’s clinic.
This was their third meeting, and Penn looked particularly exhausted today.
“Didn’t sleep well?” Rosalynn asked, settling into the chair opposite him.c2
Penn managed a wry smile, “I should tell you, Miss Madeleine was taken away by her father and brother.”
