Chapter 100

“Will you be going?” Jason asked.

Grace nodded. “But you…” She hesitated for a moment. “Do you want to go with me?”

He was quiet for a moment then said, “I have to work overtime the night before. The boss said that I will get triple the rate if I do. How about you give me the address? I will go find you the

get out of the city for the holiday.
