Arthur could barely sleep last night.
His mind kept circling back to the conversation with Grace—the way she looked, the words she said. They wouldn't let him rest. Even now, her voice echoed in his head like a quiet storm he couldn't escape.
He kept thinking about what she told him… and the history he had read so many times about Grace Rahna Williams and Eric Dawnhec. Every book, every record, said the same thing—they ended up together. They lived a peaceful life after everything. And Arthur had no problem with that.
She hadn't betrayed him. He was the one who left her behind long ago. Their engagement was annulled a year before his death. If she moved on and found happiness with the man who had stood by her side during the worst days, then that was only fair. That was what he believed. That was what helped him sleep—until now.
But last night… everything changed.
