Autumn stood frozen in the hospital corridor, her cheeks burning beneath Ginny’s warm, knowing gaze. So many things were shifting around her – almost without her noticing – and the thought felt almost too strange to believe. But Ginny, seeing only a young woman’s blush of shyness, pressed on with a delighted smile.
“Our Autumn has grown up now, hasn’t she? You have someone you like,” Ginny said, her voice carrying the gentle thrill of a grandmother finally seeing her dearest wish come true. “Tell me, whose family is he from? When will you bring him home for me to meet? You know my greatest wish is to see you happily settled.”
Autumn’s heart twisted. Her grandmother’s words were a gentle knife – so full of hope, so eager to see the future. Ginny could hardly wait to meet the man, to judge for herself if he was worthy of trusting with Autumn’s life. After all, no one else in the Lewis family could be counted on to look after her. And Ginny feared that if she were gone, no one would safeguard Autumn’s happiness.
But what could Autumn say? She knew marriage was a gamble. She had already lost once – a first marriage that left her wounded to the core and carrying the unbearable weight of cancer. How could she dream of marrying again, only to drag someone else into her suffering?
Yet seeing the pure joy on her grandmother’s face, she couldn’t bear to shatter it. Ginny’s health was fragile, and she had so few reasons to smile these days. So Autumn forced herself to speak the lie.
“Grandma, I do have someone I like,” she said, her voice trembling only slightly. “But he might not feel the same. When we’ve confirmed our relationship and are ready to talk about marriage, I’ll bring him home for you to meet.”
Even as the words left her lips, she knew the truth deep in her heart: she would only disappoint her grandmother in the end. She might never marry again. But she would never say that – not now, not when Ginny’s face glowed with such warmth.
“Our Autumn is the best girl in the world,” Ginny said, her voice full of certainty. “The boy you like will definitely like you too. Take my advice – if you like someone, you should tell him. Otherwise, it’s too easy to miss your chance.”
Autumn could only nod, forcing a smile. “I understand, Grandma. I’ll remember what you said.”
The lie was harmless, she told herself. A sweet illusion to keep her grandmother’s heart light.
But the afternoon brought another weight. At two o’clock, Ethan’s call interrupted the quiet of the hospital room. Autumn glanced at her grandmother, now peacefully asleep, then stepped into the hallway to answer.
“Autumn, get ready,” Ethan’s voice came through, crisp and businesslike. “This Monday at ten, you’re coming with me to Seaview City for a business trip. It’s the city’s annual technology expo. I’ve got two invitations, so I can take you along to meet some industry leaders.”
Autumn stared at the closed door of her grandmother’s ward, her heart sinking. With no one else in the Lewis family willing to care for Ginny, how could she possibly leave? Hesitation crept into her voice, and Ethan, ever perceptive, picked up on it at once.
“Autumn, what’s the matter? Did something happen recently that makes it inconvenient for you to travel?”
She didn’t know how to answer. All she could think of was the sleeping woman behind the door, and the lie she had told about a love she didn’t have. What would her grandmother think if she knew the truth? And how could Autumn choose between her work and the one person who truly loved her?
