Her cold response washed over Grady, leaving him ashen
Was she distancing herself from him?

Grady, sensing something amiss, pressed on.
“What happened outside the
Cruz home? Loraine, did you get into some trouble? Are you okay?”
Loraine had no wish to relive the harrowing incident. Each time it was brought up, she had to navigate

So she held her silence.

You’re no better than him, aren’t you?”
Taken aback, Marco spluttered, choking on his own words.
