Semua Bab Saving Grace: Bab 51 - Bab 60

They both stared at each other, but Grace wanted to look away, no she wanted to walk away, but she didn’t want him thinking she was hiding something.Maybe she was, and she just wanted it to stay that way.“Is something wrong, Grace?” Noah asked, eyeing her carefully. “You haven’t said one word since we came back.” He said.Lifting her shoulder in a shrug, she said. “You told me we needed to talk, so I was waiting for you to do the talking.”Noah nodded, but he knew she was just being evasive. “Do you mind if we go sit down?” He asked and she nodded. They both walked to the living room and took their seat on separate couches, but then, Noah stood up and walked to the couch she was sitting down at.As soon as he did that, she looked at him for a meeting, then without saying a word, she pushed her head down, her hair suddenly covering her face.Noah reached out a large hand to brush her hair off her face to hold it behind her ear, and then he used his hand to raise her chin up so that s

Grace hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I just felt so lost and alone in that place, and I was so scared when I started to run, like I was struggling against nature. I couldn’t find my way back home, and everything was dark,” she explained, her voice still shaky, and Noah listened attentively.Of course, he couldn’t say he understood how she was feeling after that kind of dream, but all he could do was offer her some reassurance and comfort. He needed to help her find relief in the face of all of these, and let her know he was right here for her.He offered a reassuring smile. “You’re never alone, Grace. I’m here, and so is everyone else, including Charlotte, my brother, my parents. We’ll always help you find your way back no matter where it is.” He said.There was no such things as helping her without her willing to be helped though, which was why he needed that talk. Sighing, he pulled her into a side hug one last time, before pulling back from her.Grace managed a small smile

Grace thought to make raspberry pie and take them over to the Noah’s parents, just to be nice, and repay back their kindness, not that it was enough. As she walked through the aisle in the store, she recited the list of things she needed to buy.A man she hadn't seen before around town came to stand in front of her, blocking her path, causing her heart to leap to her throat. He was huge, just like Noah, with strong fat biceps and everything. She didn’t think they came in a pair like this, and wondered how many more men were this huge in this town.Grace tried to go around him but he said. "Hi, Grace. I'm... " He started but was interrupted."If you don't leave me the hell alone, I'm calling the cops." She said. She tried not to allow the fear she was feeling to show through her eyes. That would be a dead giveaway of what she was feeling. Showing that she was scared even though she was in a public place and she shouldn’t, wasn’t a good idea.He would probably want to come back when it

“I didn’t mean to startle you, Grace, really.” Noah said as he walked into the kitchen and saw her jump when he called her name.His footsteps echoed across the kitchen tiles as he approached Grace, his brows knit with concern. “Grace, are you okay? You seem… shaken.” He asked her as he looked at her.Grace flinched a little as if she was caught off guard by Noah’s sudden presence again. She hastily wiped a stray tear from her cheek, attempting to compose herself. “Oh, it’s nothing, just… something I stumbled upon,” she muttered, avoiding eye contact.“But you don’t have to worry.” She added.“Really, I shouldn’t worry? I just saw you wipe a tear, didn’t I?” He asked, pushing his brows up.“It’s nothing, seriously. It’s not something big or serious enough to bother me. I guess something flew into my eyes, so…” she said, trailing off when she didn’t know what to say any more.Noah’s gaze softened as he pulled out a chair to sit opposite her. “Come on, Grace. I might have only met you i

The aroma of sizzling garlic filled the kitchen as Grace stirred the bubbling tomato sauce. Her culinary sanctuary was a haven, a place to focus, yet today her mind drifted. All she could think about was the words Zeke and Noah were whispering to each other just some feet away.Across the marble-topped kitchen table, Zeke and Noah talked about her ex husband, and for some reason, they were talking so lowly she couldn’t hear them. Noah gestured emphatically while explaining the details of the situation to him, his eyes sparkling with anger.Zeke was leaned in towards him, nodding attentively, his hand occasionally going to cover up his mouth as he listened to what Noah had to say.Noah and her had both decided it was best he was the one to explain things to Zeke because she couldn’t go over talking about it with him, or even talking about it again.“I could probably help with that,” Zeke voice rose suddenly, his gaze shifting towards Grace. “Hacking and decoding encrypted files?
