Monday — April 29
Angela did decide to go back to New York with Gael. They arrived last night just in time for Sunday Dinners with Nonna and the rest of Gael's family. The two only planned to stay in Manhattan for a week, mostly due to Gael's work, and then they had to go back to Mayne again as KMH's satellite office was already in the works. So they had already planned out their appointments that week—like meeting friends and families for a meal, and tomorrow's lunch would be at Grandma Susan's.
That morning, the couple had just finished breakfast and were having a short downtime before starting their busy day. Gael was busier on Mondays compared to other days of the week, so Angela worked around his schedule since hers was more flexible. She focused on her laptop, selecting the final photo for her book cover: Black Heart. She was already 95% finished on the manuscript.
