Shes not home .

It was pitch dark inside .
Antonio fumbled for the light switch , hoping that when the light came on , he would see Grace lying in bed .
But the bed was perfectly made , and the room was empty .
His eyes fell on the ring on the bedside table .
It was the one Antonio had put on Graces finger .
Underneath the ring was a note .
Antonio , I wish you happiness ! Those words pierced Antonios heart like a knife .

Antonio , what are you doing sitting on the floor ? Laney asked , still half asleep .
It took a long time before Antonio finally lifted his head to look at Laney .
