Xander got into the car, started the engine, and eagerly drove toward the airport.
But this time, Grace stood him up.
As Xander snapped back to reality, he looked at Grace, who was already fast asleep, and silently celebrated. Fortunately, afterall the twists and turns, she had returned to his side.
Leaning down, he pecked her forehead. "Goodnight, Gracie."He stood up and left the bedroom. As the door closed, Grace slowly opened her eyes.Her forehead still carried the warmth of his kiss.
Grace gazed at the ceiling, her thoughts a jumbled mess. She gradually recalled memories that had been long forgotten, andscenes from the past became clear in her mind.
The next day, warm sunlight poured in through the window, illuminating the room.
Yet Grace was still in dreamland. She had tossed and turned all night yesterday and had only fallen asleep at dawn.Asoft knock came from the door. "Gracie, are you up?"
Still half asleep, Grace heard Xander's voice. She jolted up abruptly and opened her eyes wide.
Surveying her surroundings, she belatedly realized where she was.
"Oh ... Um, Xander, I'm up."
As Grace spoke, she quickly got out of bed to freshen up. But when she finished, she faced a dilemma.
There were no spare clothes for her to change into here.
Grace slapped her forehead in frustration, regretting the spontaneous decision to stay here after having a few drinks last night.What was she going to do now?
While she pondered, Xander's voice came from outside the door. "| had my assistant bring over two sets of fresh clothes. They'reoutside the door. Take them yourself. I'll be downstairs."

She walked to the door and quietly opened it. Several bags from high-end brands were placed at the doorway. Grace took theminto the room and discovered that all the clothes were her size.
Without thinking too much, she chose an outfit she liked and changed into it. By the time she went downstairs, Xander hadalready prepared breakfast.
