“I think this is okay, Grace. You already look stunning. Even as you laid in that bed, unconscious, you still looked beautiful.”

She groaned and rolled her eyes, “Oh please, don’t remind me of those days. It was crazy seeing my face like that, I was terrified that the scars would never fade.”

I laughed as I moved closer to her as she adjusted her dress. I helped her put on her necklace around her neck – the emerald one I made for her. “Well they did.”

She stopped, seeming frozen for the briefest seconds then she screamed and hugged me tightly. “You found it!”

“I snatched it from that witch’s neck, she had it on.”

“Maybe, you should have strangled her with it,” she suggested and we both broke out in a git of laughter.

“Oh no, please,” I said amidst laughter, “I don’t want to end up in jail like Richie. I’m sure her father would make sure I rot in jail.”

“Mark wouldn’t allow it,” she wiggled her brows.

I rolled my eyes, “Oh please, that one is in the past now.” Funny enough, since the day we both signed the divorce certificate, he hasn’t even crossed my mind.

“But I’m sure Doris will,” Grace said as she turned back to the mirror, her face glowed with so much happiness.

Few days ago, after she got home, I had made an elaborate dinner for the both of us, making more of her favorites than mine. Then we spend the whole night chatting. I wanted her to get some rest but she insisted I filled her in about all she has missed and I gladly did.

I told her about my divorce and the shares I acquired just because I was letting a man I didn’t want go. What a bonus! Then I told her about Richie and the attack when I went to meet with the male clothing supplier and how Luigi had been my knight in shining armor that day. I filled her in on every tiny detail.

“Wow!” Grace had explained, “I was not around for just a few days and this much had happened?”

Then she heartily apologized for not being there for me all through.

“Okey–dokey!” Grace smacked her lips, “We’re good to go!”

With that, I picked up my bag and the car key. “I’m driving,” I announced as I made my way out of the door.

She sniffed, “Gosh, Sydney, you’re so sweet, she blinked away the oncoming tears and fixed her shimmering gaze on me. “Thank you, Sydney.” she said, “You always show up when I need you. Thank you for standing up for me, allowing me to cry, to show my weakness. Thank you for always letting me be me.”
