25-year-old Cody watched from the doorway as she carefully pinned her silver hair back, the same way she had done for as long as he could remember.
Her nightstand was crowded with blooming orchids, each one nursed back to health by her patient hands.
“Gran, you don’t have to fuss so much,” he said softly. “It’s just a date!”
