Grace was stunned.
She didn't think Hermione would cry when she was alone.
Hearing this, Grace's heart ached for her.
Now that she thought about it, Hermione must've been through a lot for the past few years with that man.
Crying when no one was looking was something one did as a last resort.
"Hermione."
"It's fine, it's all in the past." Hermione quickly changed the subject. "You seem to have taken a shower and even dried your hair. If I didn't look at your eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell that you had a restless night."
"Let me put on some makeup. I don't want the artists to feel uncomfortable." Grace said.
"Okay." Hermione also nodded. "That way, you'll look more energetic."
"Yes." After brushing on some blush and applying a bit of lipstick, Grace was done. She turned to Hermione and asked, "Do you want to have breakfast now, or do you still want to go for a walk?"
"It's already seven. Let's get something to eat," Hermione replied. "It's breakfast time, anyway."
