Regret Came Too Late

Half the time, Grace had no clue what Ethan was thinking, so she just said it again.

"Seriously, I can't do the Siltham trip. My bad."

"You're going."

She scrunched up her eyebrows, briefly entertaining the idea of just resigning when he dropped, "Dylan is back in town."

"And who the hell is that?"

"Levi's younger brother. Trust me, he's a lot nastier than Levi ever was. He's digging into what happened to Levi, and I'm getting you out of here so that you don't end up on the receiving end of his... unpleasant methods."

Grace's eyes narrowed slightly. "And how does this involve me?"

"Grace, he'll inevitably find his way to you. The substance Levi gave to you came from Dylan."

Ethan's intensity made Grace weigh his words carefully. She wouldn't be able to handle someone from the Henderson family on her own. And if Ethan himself was saying that Dylan was bad news, then sticking close to Ethan was probably the smartest move.

But why Siltham?

Siltham was pretty far, and with Ethan in the spotlight right now, who knew if Dylan might try to take him down too?

But she also really didn't want to be stuck in a car with Ethan. Lately, he'd been acting kind of weird, or maybe that was just her.
