Chapter 8
Peyton lied down on her hospital bed cradling her newborn daughter in her arms. Sawyer arrived and walked over to her.
"Hey Mom," Sawyer said softly.
"Hey sweetie," Peyton whispered. "This is your little sister."
"She's so cute," Sawyer said.
"Her name is Anna," Peyton said. "I named her after your grandmother."
"Listen Mom," Sawyer said. "I just got off the phone with Dad. He's taking the next plane home."
"I told him to continue with his book signings," Peyton said.
"He cancelled them," Sawyer said. "He also told me some bad news."
"What is it?" Peyton asked.
"Do you know Rosemary Lissing?" Sawyer asked.
"Yeah," Peyton said. "We've met once or twice. She was engaged to Chuck Scolnik until he called off the wedding."
"She was found dead this morning," Sawyer said.
Peyton gasped.
"What happened?" Peyton asked.
"She took a whole bottle of Benadryl," Sawyer replied. "It was suicide."
"That's horrible," Peyton said. "Do they know when the funeral is?"
"No," Sawyer said. "But Rosemary's family is flying into Tree Hill from Vermont to arrange things."
"I can't imagine what her family is going through," Peyton said.
