Miranda’s POV
My phone buzzed across the desk for what felt like the hundredth time that morning, but I didn’t have a second to spare. I was elbow-deep in files, typing, highlighting, signing, and rechecking paperwork as fast as I could.
It was my new boss’s first day at work, and I wasn’t about to give him a reason to think his assistant was anything less than perfect.
The buzz came again.
Irritated, I glanced down to silence it, but when I saw the name flashing on the screen.
My Dad.
I hesitated. He never called me this early. Instinct told me to pick it up, even if I was in a rush.
“Hey, Dad, I’m super swamped,” I answered, pinning my phone between my ear and shoulder as I scribbled a note. “Can I call you back in, like, ten?”
“Miranda, listen to me. It’s your grandfather.”
I rolled my eyes instinctively. “What about him? Don’t tell me he tried jogging again. You know he always exaggerates things—”
“He’s in the hospital.”
My pen stopped moving.
“What?”
“He collapsed last night,” Dad said, his voice grave. “He just lost consciousness and wouldn’t wake up. We rushed him to the ER. They ran tests all night. It’s… it’s bad, Miranda.”
My chest tightened. My breath hitched in my throat.
“What do you mean bad?”
“He’s got cancer. Pancreatic. It’s advanced. The doctor said he has around four months. Maybe less.”
I stood up so quickly my chair screeched against the floor. Papers fluttered to the ground, but I barely noticed.
“No. No, that—he was fine last week. He was arguing with me about moving back to New York!”
