That afternoon, Summer Thorne received a call from Brandon Crawford, asking her to come back for dinner.
When Summer Thorne arrived at The Carrington Estate, she discovered that it was the anniversary of Mason Crawford's mother's death, and that Brandon Crawford, who rarely went out, had made a trip to the cemetery.
Hearing this, Summer Thorne couldn't help but say, "You should have told me earlier. I could have gone with you to the cemetery."
Brandon Crawford smiled faintly and said, "I know you mean well, even though you never met her... He won't be coming back. The fact that you could come for dinner makes both her and me happy."
Summer Thorne knew the "he" he was referring to was Mason Crawford.
Although Mason Crawford was detestable, to Summer Thorne, Brandon Crawford was still an elder worthy of respect, so she offered no opinion.
"Have you lost more weight?" Brandon Crawford asked her. "Is work at the company still so busy?"
