Chapter293

Deep into the night.

I chucked the pile of letters into the fire and then grabbed the photos.

There were Antonio and Tyler, grinning from ear to ear on either side of me.

But looking at it now, all I felt was a bitter laugh.

The photo went up in flames, those grins turning to dust.

My eyes were filled with the fire's light.

As they burned, I saw bits of the letters.

Tyler promised, "I'll always look out for Grace, keep her as my princess forever."

Antonio's words were there too. "I'll make Grace my bride, and we'll start a family, with a son and a daughter."

They each made their promises to me, so full of conviction.

They both said I was more important than anything to them.
