Grace brought out the last of her clothes and then she took it to the closet. The room was really nice, but it was simple. There were only three pieces of furniture in the room. The bed, the dresser, and a single chair that was placed in front of it. There was a small piece of carpet in front of the bed, and the bedside tables that were attached to the bed had a lamp on one side, and an alarm on the other hand. There was nothing on the pale pink walls except for a small wall clock and a picture of the house itself. She looked around and sighed. Thankfully, she wouldn't have to buy anything for the bed or the windows. There were deep pink curtains against the double windows which were on the same wall of the room, but they were small in size, so she guessed it was why they made them double. On the bed, there were three bed sheets that came with two pillowcases each and each also had a comforter for covering her body to them. “I just hope this place is as safe as it looks and feels l
Saving Grace 12.
Grace parked in front of the house Noah had given her the address for, and she sat down in the car, not confident enough to walk from the car to the house. She was scared someone might come out of the bushes and jump her, someone who might as well be her ex husband. The only problem with her theory was that there were no bushes on the street. The house stood beside the garage as Noah had described and there were a few houses on both sides too, but the other side of the street had a bakery, a supply store, a vet clinic, and a bookstore. Everyone was going about their business and no one was even glancing her way. Well, she was still seated in the car, and the windows were rolled all up, with the radio and heater turned on. Speaking of the car, it was a stone white ten thousand twenty thirteen dodge grand caravan SXT with a mileage of at least eight thousand miles on it. Grace had always been interested in cars, so we knew this was a very nice car. When he had gone into his garage a
Saving Grace 13.
"Hello, Keisha.” Grace heard Charlotte greet the woman that came in just now. Grace looked at the woman Charlotte had called Keisha and she saw her grunt at her greeting before muttering hers as well. “This is Grace, she's the one that just got into town.” Charlotte introduced and Grace extended her hand for her to shake it, only she didn't. Instead of taking her hand in a shake like she expected, she looked down at it like she had a plague, or her hand was soiled, and that made her dislike her immediately. No one should have that much disdain in them for others, especially people that they were just meeting for the very first time. Keisha had never met her before but she had treated her like she was dirt on her foot. To be polite, she said. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Keisha.” It wasn't, because she didn't seem nice, and someone that vile wasn't someone she was looking to meet or have anything to do with. Her hand was still stretched towards her, but when Keisha looked down at

The morning was bright and sunny and the sky was pleasant, and it looked like rain wouldn't fall today, but that would be great. She had had her fill of lightning and thunder. Last night, she had slept alone in the house because Noah had to go to work on the night shift, and even though at first, she had been scared, but she had put in the alarm, sat for hours after he was gone until she fell asleep, and inky woke up this morning. Perhaps, it helped that she was tired before when she went to get the toiletries at the store, or because she was just tired from settling into a new town. Either way, she had slept like a baby, feeling safe and at peace. Now, she was on the line in front of the cashier, waiting to pay for the groceries she had bought. This morning when she had wanted to make breakfast, because she was truly hungry, she had met the fridge empty, the cabinets as well, and she wondered how Noah are before now. Guessing that he ate at Charlotte’s place, she had no choice bu
Saving Grace 15.
Deciding to pick up one or two things over at Charlotte's, she drove in that direction as she left the grocery store. She was too hungry to wait until she was done cooking to eat something, so she would pick up something to snack on. She soon got to Charlotte’s shop, and she got down from the car. She wasn't sure what to get, but she hoped her menu have sour cream coffee cakes with the cinnamon-walnut swirl.As she opened the door to the shop, the bell jingled as it usually does, only not as loud as before but it still made her jump a little. She stopped a few feet from the counter and smiled her usual cheery smile at Charlotte. "Hi, Charlotte. Good morning." She said with a wide grin.Charlotte smiled right back with all her teeth on display. "Hello Grace, good morning. What would you like to get?" She asked.Grace thought for a moment then she said. "A hot cup of coffee to go and a bag of sour cream coffee cake with the cinnamon-walnut swirl if you have them." She said.Charlotte's
Saving Grace 16.
When Noah mentioned his mother, Grace didn't think she would be meeting her this earlier, or that this tall and beautiful young-looking woman would be her. When she had opened the door earlier to the door knocking, she had been surprised to see a woman standing there, with a bag and a basket. "Hello," the woman had said. “Hello, how can I help you?” she had asked and the woman had laughed and shook her head. Although, she should have been angry at the sarcastic laugh from the woman, but she hadn't found it offensive. It was just as if Grace had said something funny. “Help me? How can you help me?” she had smiled again, then. "Sorry, I don't mean to offend you. I'm Tammy, Noah’s mother.” She had said and Grace had almost gasped. “Oh, wow! I didn't know that,” she had said, pulling the door wider for her to come in. "I'm sorry, Noah didn't say you were coming, ma'am. He's not indoor as well.” She said. Tammy laughed again. "Ma'am? Young woman, that’s offensive, don't you think? I'
Saving Grace 17.
Noah left work late today, but it didn't stop him from hearing about his mother’s escapades. She did that sometimes, no matter what anyone said. He knew without being told that his father would have advised her against it, but as he knew, she was a strong headed woman and a matchmaker. At least, she prided herself on being that, and after a long while of trying, she had succeeded with his brother. Ezekiel had met his bride to be through their mother’s antics. She had one day asked him home to her house, saying she was down with the flu, and needed him to pick up her prescription at the hospital, and on his way drop something at the old Judge Raymond’s house, and that had been all. Ezekiel should have known that it was just a tactic for something, seeing as he could have called Noah who was a doctor and worked at that same hospital she wanted him to pick up a prescription from. Now, she was trying to do the same thing with him, and he knew that the moment Charlotte told him. “What
Saving Grace 18.
Being a military brat taught Jimmy Guerrero everything he knew, and it had been an enlightening one, one he thought he had seen all, but this he hadn't. As he watched what was in the video, he gaped his mouth open, not believing his eyes. How had this happened to anyone and they had survived it? The recording showed that this had happened four months ago, and he shivered to look at it.So when his phone rang suddenly, he had been so startled he had jumped and then froze. No one would watch this and not have their blood run cold. “Hello,” he heard after finally picking up his call. He was sitting in his garage with the laptop he was using to watch the recording in front of him. He paused, looking around to see that no one was around. Thankfully, it was Noah that was calling him, the good doctor that had helped him revive his daughter when she had almost died from drowning, or almost getting drowned. He was still thinking about calling him when he saw the tracker, an illegal kind of
