Three months later, Daniel stood inside the same ballroom.<\/p>\n

No flowers.<\/p>\n

No Victoria.<\/p>\n

Only a small family gathering.<\/p>\n

No family secrets.<\/p>\n

No one speaking for either of them.<\/p>\n

Only the truth.<\/p>\n

And finally, the chance to start again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
