Gail Wright closed her eyes, gently stroking Ian Leighton's back, embracing him for a long time without letting go.
A phone call brought unrest...not only affecting Ian Leighton.
Grace Gordon was also affected, holding her cellphone in her hand, standing in the center of the living room.
Even the food that Christopher had brought was placed on the shoe cabinet, still untouched.
Grace Gordon didn't know how long she had been standing there. That night...Stanhope Brown didn't come back.
Grace Gordon stood there from dusk till dawn, and finally slept in Wilbert Morgan's room.
When Grace Gordon woke up, it was already noon.
She got up and casually grabbed a hair tie to tie up her hair, then went out...In the bright sunshine, Stanhope Brown wore an apron...placing dishes on the dining table.
Grace Gordon hesitated...she didn't know if she was still dreaming.
