The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

To repay the favor, I went out with the doctor from the hospital.

We watched the sunrise I had missed before, hiked, had a picnic, shared a meal, and enjoyed some drinks together.

The moment I stepped out of the car, I froze.

Antonio and Sabrina were there, scrutinizing me, while his mother glared at me with disdain.

"Grace, have you no shame? You called the cops on us, got Sabrina and I locked up, just so you could go out with another guy!" Antonio snapped, grabbing my collar.
