It had been six years since she’d left, and now Grace was back, holding hands with a cute little boy. Colin Floyd gazed at the vast airport of Drelar City, his little head filled with curiosity.

Grace stared at them, briefly lost in a daze, and then shook herself back to the present. She looked down at Colin, and the discomfort in her chest faded. “Colin, it’s nothing. Let’s go.”
