A CALL HOME On the first ring, her mother answered and it took all of Camilla's willpower not to start crying even though tears filled her eyes. "Hello, mother." "Oh, my darling, hope you are well?" The voice was breathless with worry. "I am fine, mama. I wanted to hear your voice and also to tell you that I…that I wedded today." "Yes, I remembered. I believe it all went well." "Yes, it did."
