    "So, since the ceremony is the only thing that is missing, why not have it soon?" Gloria suggested.

    Feeling really annoyed now, Nicole replied, "Mom, I''m already married. And hey, at least I''m not in


    Stanley''s shoes. He doesn''t even have a girlfriend. Maybe you should focus on him?"


    With that said, Nicole took Jared''s hand and made a beeline for the dining room, wanting to distance


    herself from the subjects.


    Feeling that the spotlight was back on him, Stanley sighed." Alright, I''ll post an ad on a dating app


    tomorrow."


    All of a sudden, there was a thud, and someone gasped. Everyone''s eyes then centered on Tia, who


    was walking in with a te of snacks.


    "Hey Tia, what''s up?" Nicole greeted, giving her a once-over.


    Tia quickly set the te of mini muffins down. "Mrs. Wace was feeling good today. She made these


    since she knows how much you love them and asked me to bring them to you."


    Nicole''s eyes lit up at the sight of the muffins. "Thanks, Tia. How''s Grandma beentely?"


    "She''s doing well. I should get back to looking after her," Tia said, her voice hurried.


    As she rushed out with her head bowed, it became clear to everyone watching that something was


    bothering her.


    Nicole saw Tia''s limp as she made her way out and could not help but nce at Stanley, who was


    observing Tia with a grimace on his face. She sensed there was more to the story than she knew.


    "Alright, let''s dig in," Gloria announced once Tia had left.


    "Sounds good," the group chimed in, and everyone settled into their seats at the dining table.


    Nicole stared at the mini muffins, a rush of nostalgia washing over her. She remembered Tia''s words


    about how they were her childhood favorite, and that had prompted Mrs. Wace Sr. to whip up a batch


    for her. After biting into one, a genuine smile crossed her face.


    "This takes me right back to my childhood," she murmured.


    Memories ofzy summer afternoons with her grandmother, picking berries andughing under the sun


    danced in her mind. Those simple days, full of love and joy, were some of the bests she had ever had.


    Snapping out of her reverie, Nicole found all eyes on her, wide with surprise.


    She paused, bing a little flustered, and said, "I think a childhood memory just came back to me,


    but the rest... it''s still foggy."


    "It''s a good start, Nicole. Don''t worry. All your memories will return someday," Gloria said, her eyes


    getting wet.


    ''At least Nicole''s beginning to remember,'' she thought.


    "Yes, just take your time," Daniel added.


    "You should visit Mrs. Wace more often. It might help jog your memories," Stanley suggested.


    "I will," Nicole said, feelingforted by their words.


    "Mommy, can we try some?" Nn and Lana came over from the living room, their eyes set on the mini


    muffins.


    Nicole smiled gently. "Of course. Here, have some."
