Grace knew she had already gotten through to him, so saying something she didn't truly mean didn't matter at this point." Maybe I do.

"I won't let them send you to a psychiatric hospital -not until we know the truth." Grace rolled her eyes internally , but her face showed nothing but grateful emotion.

She replied, "Okay." She turned and walked down the hallway. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of what looked like the corner of Ethan's coat. ---- She picked up her pace, but when she reached the end of the hall, there was no one there.

"Sorry, Mr. Henderson . I need to check on her." Yancey followed him to Alice's ward. Alice was swishing bottled water in her mouth, her whole

like ice in his chest. He suddenly thought of the massive truck from the night before and Duncan, who looked more like a hired thug than anything else. He gave her a quick, half-hearted check-up, then made up an excuse to leave. Yancey hadn't finished questioning him earlier and was just about to follow him out, but Alice

She always said the same thing, that she was being bullied. No matter how hard she tried to please Grace,

Back in the ward, Alice was spiraling. She needed Sidney gone tonight -but she couldn't let Yancey out of her sight either. If he got to Sidney, everything would fall apart.
