Chapter 14 - Grace Reveals The True Cost Of Her Sacrifice
Grace walked slowly over to the dining table, picking up the small cream-colored box resting beside Ethan’s plate.
She opened the lid, lifted the tiny ultrasound photograph between her fingers, and stared at the blurred gray image.
“I was going to tell you tonight, Ethan,” Grace said, her voice carrying an eerie, profound sadness that silenced the room.
“I was going to tell you that you were going to be a father, and hoped it would bring you back to us.”
Ethan raised his head from the floor, his eyes wide and bloodshot as the full horror of his actions hit him.
“Grace... please... we can fix this. We can start over,” he choked out, reaching a trembling hand toward her shoes.

Grace stepped backward, keeping her hand resting protectively over the small curve of her unborn child’s home.
“There is nothing left to fix, Ethan. You killed whatever was left of us the moment you raised your hand.”
