Grace’s face grew more and more serious. After all, William telling lies was the last thing she wanted to see.

“But nothing is absolute. I’ll have someone check the house to see if there was anything that could have made the sound. Perhaps we missed it,” said Lina.

“The three of us and Nelson missed it?” Grace thought the odds were slim.
