The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Antonio searched for over a month but still

couldn't find Grace. He seemed to have turned into a different person ever since Grace left. He moved into Grace's bedroom and began to look after Laney like Grace

used to, picking her up and dropping her off at school, cooking for her, and tutoring

her. Everything seemed perfectly normal on the surface, but Laney

knew her brother wasn't happy. He had become even

colder than before.

Laney deleted Keyla's contact, though Keyla had been

trying to reach out to her. She began

to realize that maybe Keyla just wasn't right for her brother.

Antonio had trouble sleeping at night. He carried the wedding ring Grace had left behind with him all the time, hoping

for a chance to put it back on her finger and tell her how deeply he loved her.
