How could she not? The scene in the hospital today made it crystal clear to Fiona.

She just hoped her grandson, who was too high and mighty to ever bow down, didn't end up regretting this!
"Let's hit the road, kiddo. I have always believed you didn't do it, you're not the kind of person to do such things. I know what you're yearning for, to make things right for you, to have Remington tie the knot with you. You two grew up together, tight as can be. Surely, you'll have each other's backs for life.
Remington might be a bit cold, but you're a tender and meticulous kid. With you by his side, I can rest easy. Who would have thought...
Ah, I don't know anymore if the decision back then was the right one."
