As she stood there, Anita’s father approached her with a warm smile. “Thank you for honoring our traditions by wearing white. It means a lot to us,” he said.
Margaret blinked in surprise. “I… I didn’t realize. I thought…” She trailed off, embarrassment washing over her.

Relief washed over Margaret as she realized she hadn’t been set up after all. Anita had genuinely wanted to include her, to honor her place in the family.

Anita smiled and took Margaret’s hand. “You wore the dress despite your doubts, and that means a lot. We both want what’s best for James. Maybe we can start fresh.”
