At the Harris home, Melody arrived for a long-overdue family talk.
Without her parents' knowledge, Melody sent invitations to her siblings' homes so they could be present for this talk.
Rather than beat around the bush about what everyone felt, Melody wanted everything to be out in the open today. It was time for the family to stop pretending. It was a grave problem when the children were pulled into this mess, and no matter how old Penelope was, she was still a child.
"Melody!" Claire, Melanie's third daughter, called to her sister.
Claire stepped out of the carriage sent by her husband and stared at her sister in wonder. Why was it so important that she saw her parents today?
"You gave me quite a fright with your invitation. I apologise for not bringing my husband along, but if there is drama, it is not something I want him to see," said Claire.
