Grandma Nicole's eyes lit up as she saw Tony walk through the hospital door. It had been a long month of recuperation, and she couldn't wait to get out of the hospital and back to the comfort of her own home. Tony smiled at her, his eyes full of relief and happiness that she was finally getting discharged. He made his way to her bedside, gently taking her hand in his.

"You ready to go home, Grandma?" he asked.

"More than ready," she replied, a grin spreading across her face.

    Weeks had passed since Tony had stormed out of his uncle's office. He'd gone back later, reluctantly, to sign the document.

"Is there something I can help you with?"There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Tony could hear his uncle take a deep breath. "Everything is all right, Tony," Uncle Robert assured him, but there was a note of hesitation in his voice. "I'm calling because your mother wants to see
