The weight of everything broke Grace down, landing her in the hospital,
unconscious for a long time.
When she woke up, there was no one to look after her.
The two nurses on duty whispered to each other. "Can you believe this? His wife passes out and ends up here,
and he calls to say 'Tell her to stop acting."
Grace's surroundings were a blur, but the words pierced through.
The pain in her heart numbed everything else. Nothing mattered anymore.
Whatever she did or said, Antowould never believe her.

"Yesenia, think you can keep pretending?
"Lookin the eye and tell me-did you send someone to get Talia that day or not?
"When you saw her body, did you feel any shat all?" she shot back.

"Mommy, I'll find the most beautiful flowers in the world for you and Nana.” Talia's voice turned a bit sad as she
added, "Oh, and for Daddy too, but he's always so busy."
