Mr. Manuel returned and thankfully he had learned his lesson from the first time and he didn't jog or run anymore.
He simply walked. Briskly. Instead, he took his time and carefully brought whoever was looking for me to the garden.
"Ma'am, this is who is here to see you."
As I lifted up my eyes from the book to see who it was, a scream escaped from my mouth in surprise.
"Grace?!"
"Vicks!"
"Grace, is that you?!"
I got up from the mat as quickly as possible and ran straight into her open arms.
