Chapter 3 - The Empty Mansion

Ethan: The house feels so empty today,

Grace.

Grace: I am so sorry for your pain,

Mr. Ethan.

Ethan: Do not apologize,

you saved my life.

Grace: I was just doing my job,

sir.

Ethan: You did so much more than that,

you risked everything for me.

Grace: I could not let her hurt you,

you are a truly good man.

Ethan: My heart is broken,

I trusted her with my life.

Grace: Time will heal your deep wounds,

I promise you.

Ethan: Stay with me,

please.

Grace: I will be right here,

always.

Ethan: I cannot sleep,

my mind is racing.

Grace: I can make you some tea,

if you want.

Ethan: That would be wonderful,

thank you.

Grace: Here is your tea,

careful,

it is hot.

Ethan: You are so kind,

Grace.

Grace: Please try to rest,

tomorrow is a new day.

Ethan: I do not know how to move on,

everything is shattered.

Grace: One step at a time,

Ethan,

one step at a time.

Ethan: You called me by my name,

finally.

Grace: I am sorry,

it slipped out.

May you like

Ethan: I like it,

say it again tomorrow.
