Slowly getting up from his chair, he stood in front of her, taking her hands in his, he was now towering over her, his face a mixture of confusion and sadness, fighting to keep his smile. He searched her eyes as if looking for answers to an unspoken 'why' question. He stood so close that grace was afraid that if he took one more step, he would bump right into her. “It's good to see you, Gracie,” he said showing her to the couch.
