Chapter 20 - Olivia Gets Her Wedding Back
Olivia and Julian did something generous.
Six months after the wedding, they invited close family back to Hartwell House for an anniversary dinner.
Not a second wedding.
No recreated ceremony.
Just dinner.
Olivia asked Bram privately:
“Do you want to come?”
“Yes.”
“Where do you want to sit?”
“By cake.”
Reasonable.
The permanent ramp was finished.
Bram rolled up to the terrace himself.
No one touched his handles.
Cordelia attended but sat at a different table.
No forced reunion.
During dinner, Olivia’s actual wedding album appeared.
She had chosen photographs herself.
One full-page image showed the family table before the incident.
Bram clearly visible.
Wheelchair visible.
Nobody had cropped it.
Bram looked for three seconds.

Then turned the page.
Children do not always need the same closure adults crave.
