Fanny couldn't sleep and began cleaning. She stumbled upon an ancient book and opened the cover. "Never forget how to be a lady." The inscription read in her mother's perfect cursive. And wait, a photograph was wedged inside. Emily…. That must be where Hubbell was staying during the conference. And from what she last heard from Emily, Lorelei was in her situation and refusing to accept help. But if she knew her favorite cousin was there. Wait, technically not cousin. Would he suspect? Would he ever suspect? After all, he did look a great deal like his "uncle." That's what tore her and Emily apart all those years ago.

She couldn't bear the thought any longer and went back to her bedroom and finally went to sleep.
