Capítulo 104: I Want to See You

As we walked in the room, I said to Grace: "Put your stuff over there on the bed and then sit over on my vanity stool."

As Grace turned around I could see confusion mixed with a little sadness flash across her face. I think I even saw a little glistening at the corners of her eyes.

It hit me that she might have become a little upset at the flirtation between Patrick and me, so I simply asked, albeit in a slightly firm tone, "Okay. What's got you upset all of a sudden?"

Grace became very interested in the tops of her sneakers and remained silent.

"Out with it," I said in a somewhat firmer tone. "What's gotten into you!"
