    They thought everyone else was already asleep.


    So, they sat down on the couch, nning to chat for a bit before heading to bed.


    "Why are you still up?"


    From the doorway came a man''s deep, slightly amused voice.


    Cami turned around, a smile spreading across her face. "Brad, what took you so long? It''s already midnight."


    Bradley was dressed in a ck suit, his white shirt buttoned up perfectly-he looked every bit the serious, steady professional.


    Gold-rimmed sses rested on his nose, masking the clever, calcting look in


    his eyes.


    Bradley set his briefcase down on the couch and said, "An extra busy day at thew firm, that is."

    "Yeah." Bradley nodded.


    His high school was indeed in Viremont.


    But after graduating, he went abroad and never made it back to Viremont.


    "You two went together?" Bradley chuckled. "That must''ve been a pretty big deal —someone that influential, and they inved both of you to their celebration party?”


    Damian turned on the TV, flipped through a couple of channels, and happened to catch a news segment about Cameron.


    "That''s her. She''s the one who came up with the breakthrough treatment for leukemia," Damian said, pointing the remote at the girl on the screen.

    "Mom, why are you still up?" Cami walked over and linked her arm with us.


    Beth replied, "How could I sleep when you weren''t.....”


    Damian would be back around this time, so she came downstairs to


    Just then, they heard the TV announcer say, "Cameron Yates has developed a revolutionary treatment for leukernia..."


    Beth immediately turned to look at Bradley.


    Bradley didn''t seem to notice. He was looking down at his phone.


    Without hesitation, Beth quickly walked over and turned off the TV.


    She then smiled and said, "It''s reallyte. You should all go to bed." "Goodnight, Mom," Cami and Damian said in unison.


    They both headed upstairs.


    Bradley was about to get up too when Beth called out, "Brad."

    Bradley nodded. "Yeah, I''ve been swamped. What''s wrong, Mom?"
