Chapter 29
“I’m falling for Landon,” Grace confessed to Diana, her sister-in-law. She needed to tell someone or she felt she was going to burst.

“Of course, not! He had gone through a lot, he is not ready for a relationship. He’s still fragile. Yesterday he told me he felt guilty every time he smiled. Imagine falling in love.”
“Being a lone survivor can bring a lot of guilt,” Diana opined. “It explains why he jumped headfirst into the job you gave him. He needed something to focus his head on.”
“I think he’s discovering he’s stronger than he thought,” Grace corrected her. “He faced Marcus Carter in his den and came up triumphant. Damn if I know how he did it!”
