    “Sure,” replied Grace. ording to


    the information she collected, Chase


    Harper’s car and Baldwin’s car were


    driving one behind the other at the time


    of the ident.


    One could say that Chase Harper was


    the first witness when the ident


    happened!


    She could ask Chase Harper if she


    wanted to learn more about the details


    of the case.


    “Want to join me for dinner? It’s almost time anyway,” said Chase Harper after


    looking at the time.


    “No thanks.” Grace declined with a smile, clearly keeping her distance.


    She did not know if Chase Harper was


    still interested in her, but… she did not want to send out the wrong signal.


    “There’s something else I wish to tell you in regards to this case. I was thinking of having dinner with


    you and telling you


    about it as we eat. It won’t take much


    time,” said Chase Harper.


    Grace hesitated. “Then… let’s go Dutch.”


    “Sure,” answered Chase Harper with a


    shy smile.


    As long as she would have dinner with him, he was ted.


    Lina came to see Grace afterward, but she did not expect to see her friend getting out of a car that was


    being driven by a man at the neighborhood


    where Grace’s rental house was.


    She only saw her best friend saying something to the man with a smile. Then,


    she waved goodbye before the car drove


    away.


    ‘Um… Is there something going on?’


    Lina quickly ran to Grace’s side. “Grace,


    who’s that guy just now?”


    Grace was taken aback by Lina’s sudden appearance. “What are you doing here?”


    “I’m here to see you. Tell me, who’s the


    man who sent you back? You guys look


    close.” Lina looked like her passion for


    gossip was ignited.


    Grace smiled helplessly and said, “He’s my former colleague from the Sanitation Service Center, but


    he’s now


    left the Sanitation Service Center and


    is a shareholder of a car dealership. There was a case today, and the victim happens to be a colleague


    of his at his car dealership. He’s also a witness, so we


    had dinner together and he drove me


    home.”


    “That’s all?” Lina was disappointed.


    “What were you thinking?” asked Grace.


    “I thought you had someone you could consider dating,” grumbled Lina.


    Graceughed. “Lina, I’ll never date


    again.”


    Lina suddenly stopped and looked at her friend in surprise. “You’ve only failed


    once. You don’t have to-”

    “Not once, but twice.” Grace corrected. “It


    doesn’t feel good to be kicked away so


    easily every time. I don’t want to go through that suffering again.”


    Lina felt sorry for her best friend. “Maybe the third time’s the charm? Maybe you’ll meet someone who


    deserves your love?”


    “Instead of spending my time on rtionships, I’d rather spend my time


    on what I really want to spend on. Perhaps I’m just not suited for love. Besides, you know that my body


    makes


    it hard for me to conceive. How many


    men in this world would like to have no


    children of their own?”


    Lina threw her arms around Grace. “You


    mustn’t talk about yourself like that. Nothing is absolute. People who really


    like you and love you will be tolerant of these things. Besides… My child will be your child. Our child will


    have two


    mothers.”


    Lina choked up while talking. ‘I don’t like Grace saying such things. It feels as if


    she’s done with her life.


    ‘But she’s still so young. She’s only 28!’
