Chapter 19

• Ed was there by himself as Shirley had gone to bed. He was watching something dumb but Grace didn't want to be alone.
• "That was a really pretty dress you were wearing when you got home. You looked really nice in it!" Ed said in his deep rumble as he slumped on the couch with his legs out on the ottoman. She looked over at him and felt a pang in her heart. She needed some human contact. She tucked herself against his body and he wrapped his arm around her. She sighed happily as she cuddled into the big man. They watched TV together like that until they fell asleep.
• Grace woke up in the middle of the night with Shirley standing next to her.
