Preparations
The following week passed in a blur of preparations. Rebecca had been caught off guard and had a lot on her plate. Rebecca found herself swept up in the plans, buying new hiking gear and packing snacks, all the while trying to ignore the nagging sense of dread that gnawed at her.
She told herself it would be fine, that this hike was just a chance to bond with Andrew’s family. Maybe she’d even get to know Anna better, find some common ground with the woman who would soon be her mother-in-law.
