Lewis wanted to continue discussing Grace’s career, but seeing how stressed she looked, he decided to take a drive around the block instead.

“And when do I come back?”
“Whenever you feel like it.”
“Don’t I need to learn from someone?”
“Interest is the best teacher, as they say. And honestly, your skills are already top–notch.” Lewis answered all her questions seriously.
But Grace couldn’t shake the feeling that this was more of a vacation than a study trip.
Antonio always talked about taking her on a world tour, but in three years, the farthest they went was neighboring cities.
He was always too busy–busy defying his parents, hanging out with friends, and thinking about Janelle.
Looking back, Grace felt like the biggest joke.
