Chapter 180 - Grace: Fan Club

Awkward silence reigns in the car, and there's no way I'm breaking it. Andrew's tension is palpable even from here, but you know what? He deserves to feel anxious and off-kilter after having the audacity to question my relationship with Caine.

But Owen's there. I'm sure he's helping keep her in check.
