Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 276

Grace had a lingering sense that something about Ed was amiss. His demeanor

had shifted, and he had grown strangely fixated—almost to the point of

Grace began to wonder if she had really gone too far this time.

"I forgot," she said. "I'll make it up to you next time."
