by Sarah Zettel
Grace took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The night was warm, but she was cold, and her whole future waited with the dawn. She would go see Frank as soon as it was light enough. This time, she would tell him the whole long, complex truth that had held her apart from him for all these years. He would believe her. She knew that now. He would believe her and he would understand and then … well, then they would see what would come of that understanding.
Grace turned her back on the lake and began walking home.
