Chapter Sixteen
Brenda: Sasha, it worked.
Sasha: What worked?
Brenda: Your plan to invite Cordelia over to the house.
Sasha: I thought now wasn’t a good time?
Brenda: I changed my mind.
Sasha: Why?
Brenda: I realized that it’s bad enough my poor granddaughter is suffering. The solution isn’t for Viking to withdraw into himself as well.
Sasha: You said it worked. What did you mean? Are they together now?
Brenda: Even better.
Sasha: He PROPOSED?
Brenda: No, my granddaughter is bonding with your daughter.
Sasha: I don’t understand.
Brenda: Your daughter is the only person in Lucky Falls who can meet my granddaughter where she is. Don’t you get it?
Sasha: Not really.
Brenda: My son lives and breathes for his child. And your daughter is the only one who can reach Gordie. So that means…
Sasha: He’ll fall even harder for her.
Brenda: Exactly! My granddaughter will get better and my son will finally allow himself to love again. I can finally breathe.
Sasha: Let’s not get carried away. We don’t want them to only rely on each other for Gordie. They need to see each other in a romantic light without her.
Brenda: The ball is in motion now. All we have to do is sit back and wait for those two to see what we’ve seen all along.
Sasha: That sounds lovely, but sitting back and waiting isn’t my style.
Brenda: What do you suggest?
Sasha: Nothing too crazy. Just a little nudge in the right direction.
Brenda: I’m all ears.
