“Who knows the ways of Angels? I thought of many reasons but never suspected that this would happen. I am very pleased for you, my dear.” Morris led Grace to the front door and opened it. “Time for you to catch that train home. And be vigilant for the return of your husband. I’m certain Thomas has already given him a nudge.” Morris broke into a wide grin.324Please respect copyright.PENANAHfYxvhYiPE

324Please respect copyright.PENANA51uFZRjOlS
“I was hoping it was you. How are you? Where are you?” She held the phone so tight it began to hurt her hand.324Please respect copyright.PENANA2lV7rEooPm
