Chapter 7

With all the guests gone, Grace felt a chill down to her bones. Though she’d kept her emotions on ice for a while, the pain was still there.

Tears welled up, but Grace quickly wiped them away. She went back inside for her purse and left.

At home, packing was quick–she didn’t have many belongings. She left behind everything Antonio had ever bought for her.

With Nicole out of reach, Grace wandered through the cold night, with her small backpack.

She spotted a young couple sharing churros on the street, and memories of Antonio from years ago flooded back.

Back when they first started dating, Antonio wasn’t much of a talker, but he always looked out for her. One snowy night, she had a craving for churros. Despite hating the cold, he joined her in the search. By the time they found a churro vendor,

their hands and feet were numb from the cold.

The vendor told her, “Hold on to him. He’s a keeper!”

Only later did Grace realize that his love was like a passing breeze–once gone, it never came back.

Suddenly, Nicole’s call snapped Grace out of her trance.
