Gaining An Ally

Talia's birthday was nearing and she didn't want to celebrate her birthday this year too as usual. Although she accepted all the facts, her birthday is still the day she killed Cyrus and she found it hard to celebrate her birthday.

Vivian and Cyril's wedding was a week before Talia's birthday and Marcella's been nagging Talia to attend Vivian's bachelorette party and so Talia decided to make a trip to Esteria and stay there until the wedding.

Before leaving for Esteria, Talia met with Sandy. The letter only contained Sandy's wish to meet with Talia and Talia wanted to meet her.

Sandy wasn't very talkative. The woman who used to have arrogance in her eyes looked meek now and her eyes looked puffy. Talia wondered if it was because she grieved for Ralph's death.

"He was having this bracelet in his shirt pocket when we got him." Talia passed the beaded bracelet in the ziplock bag to Sandy.
