The situation within the places of Grace and Mira twisted over, a certain level of calmness settling in as the talk went in another direction. This time, Austin should have been there to help Grace through it, but he let that duty towards Mira, knowing the fact that it would strengthen the relationship between the two.
The stronger their relationship, the easier it would be to deal with the stuff when some of the truths start to flow out into the world, and thus, in this case, Mira went forth to help Grace adapt to the issue at hand, a lot of talk going on between the two, as two powerful women in the world began their planning.
The truth was bitter and not easy to swallow at all, but Grace wasn't going to break from it. She has gone through and lived through worse, and she had prepared her heart in cases like this. She didn't expect such a huge wall but expected walls to block her love from coming forth, a wall that would also block the happiness of her daughters.
