truth.
    “You still have this death trap Grace? Why haven’t you gotten something newer? Is it even safe to drive this car?” Paige stood in front of Grace’s car shocked that it was still
    running. She remembered growing up and this car breaking down a thousand times on the way to school.
     
    “It gets me where I have to go.” Grace and Paige both looked down at the car with a look of pity. The car was good to them, but Paige was right. It was about time for something new before all of the wheels fell off. On the drive home, Grace asked Paige about her fun and exciting career in art. She brought up Dominic a few times, but Paige quickly changed the subject, which had Grace’s motherly alarm bells going off in her head. Something was up and she knew it. She was going to get to the bottom of it . . . later.
    “Home sweet home,” Grace said, as she parked the car in the driveway and looked at Paige.
    “It looks exactly the same. I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve been back here.” They both got out of the car as Paige looked at the place she once called home. She felt her heart skip a beat and her stomach tighten at the thought of having to tell Grace what was going on. As they walked up to the house, both sisters looked at each other, smiling and feeling like this was the way it was supposed to be. They were greeted at the doorstep by Tyler. He had been waiting for Grace to get home and wanted to talk to her about the other day at lunch. When he didn’t see her car in the driveway, he figured he would just wait because if he left, he knew he would miss her again and he really wanted to see her. Just from the sight of him, Paige almost tripped over her own two feet. Grace just stood there wondering what he was doing here.
    “Hi Grace.” He stood up, taking a few steps until he was standing right in front of her, making her pulse kick up a notch. He looked over at Paige who was almost drooling now at the sight of such a sexy man.
    “I’m Paige; the middle sister,” she said, as she shook his hand.
    “I’m Tyler. I just moved into the house up the hill a couple of weeks ago. Grace, can we talk for a minute, please?” His voice was low and devastatingly sexy.
    “Don’t mind me. I know my way around. I’ll be inside Grace,” Paige said, giving her sister and Tyler privacy.  
    “Tyler, I really am sorry about lunch the other day. I had no idea Denny was going to show up like that, but I really can’t get into this right now because my sister just got here.”
      He didn’t need much of her time. He just wanted to make sure she was alright and look with his own eyes for any signs of her not being alright. Looking into her eyes was trouble and he knew it, but something about her kept pulling him in.
    “I know you’re busy. I just wanted to make sure you were ok. You seemed pretty upset when you left.” He took another step closer, putting them inches apart now.
    He was close enough to feel the heat coming off of her body. She took his breath away as he looked down at her, gazing into her eyes. He felt something in his chest that he
    hadn’t felt in a long time. The dull ache right in the center that almost brought him to his knees.
    “I’m fine, really. You are sweet to be so worried, but it’s nothing I can’t deal with on my own.” Grace wanted so bad to move away and go inside, but it was like her legs had stopped working. Deep down she didn’t want to move away from him. She wanted to move closer, letting him wrap her in his arms and make the pain go away, but she knew it was never going to happen because there was no way he could possibly want that.
    He looked into her eyes for another second, searching for something, but she was hiding it really well. Before he knew what he was doing, he pushed a strand of hair away from her cheek, letting the pad of his thumb slowly graze her soft skin. Grace felt a shiver go through her at his touch and couldn’t help but stare at his
