Chapter 38: So Much for the Truth

Zach caught up with Grace at the bottom of her steps. He pulled her into his embrace. “It’s okay. Dolores doesn’t have a lot of imagination.”

“You don’t believe me either.”

“I do. Or at least I’m trying.”

The colors green and gray danced in front of her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and the world went a little cockeyed. “I need to sit.”

“Let’s get you inside.”

His voice floated past her ear. The back yard grew blurry. Her knees went weak. “Zach.”

He scooped her up before she could fall. She hated and liked the feeling of his strong arms around her. He held her as if he carried damsels all the time.

She cursed herself for her weakness, especially since it involved Zach. Without her wanting it he could have her on her knees.
