Rufus felt hopeful when his distant stepdaughter, Hyacinth, invited him to dinner, but the night took a strange turn. She seemed nervous, ordered expensive food without asking, and then disappeared before the bill arrived, leaving him to pay. Just as he resigned himself to disappointment, she reappeared with a cake and balloons, revealing shocking news—he was going to be a grandfather.
In that moment, Rufus realized she wasn’t abandoning him but reaching out in her own way. Overcome with emotion, he embraced her, finally feeling a true connection. The past no longer mattered—what mattered was the future they could share.
