Knowing his thoughts were not with her, she still wouldn't let him leave.
So from three o'clock onwards, she clung to his arm silently, refusing to let him go even half a step.
Lorraine Hanson couldn't do anything about it, as she was a patient. He couldn't use a harsh tone, so he half-leaned on the bedhead, letting her hold him while soothing her emotions, though his mind was still on Tracy...
In the morning, Tracy got up very early. When she walked into the guest room, Grace Parker was not yet awake, and the room showed no sign of the man.
She quietly prepared to leave, but Grace woke up, glanced at her indifferently, and sat up.
"So early?..." For the first time in days, she greeted Tracy, in a cold tone devoid of any emotion.
Tracy halted, turned around, and said "Good morning" to her, then asked, "Has Lorraine gone downstairs?"
