The rain fell softly against Grace's skin, but she didn't move.
She stood by the riverbank, her heart pounding as memories she had tried so hard to forget came rushing back. This was the same place Ethan had made a promise to her—a promise he never kept.
Tears filled her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Not today. Not again.
"Why did you lie to me, Ethan?" she whispered into the cold air.
But the silence that followed was louder than any answer.
Behind her, footsteps approached slowly.
Grace didn't turn around.
She already knew who it was.
