Duela adjusted her clothes, now free of the machines she'd been hooked up to. She followed Jonathan out of the laboratory, satisfied with his answer that the tests had all shown nothing wrong. She smoothed her hair and took a deep breath.
Now it was time for another frightening introduction. Hopefully Edward Crane would not be as immediately off-putting as Greta Krane had been. Duela had tried to like that woman. She really had. But Greta made that far too difficult, and Duela felt she was too old to be striving to please someone who could not be pleased.
Of course, Edward Crane was another matter. She wanted his approval, mostly because Jonathan had described him as the head of the family, in a way. She wanted to prove she was worthy of Jonathan, prove that she deserved to become a Crane. Duela smiled when she saw the man who had to be Edward Crane, and she stepped forward, offering her hand.
