Solace's POV
How many ways could fate destroy a person? How much misery could one soul endure?
These thoughts consumed Solace's mind as she abandoned her car and sprinted toward the house. Her reckless driving had nearly caused a collision with an eighteen-wheeler, but she felt nothing. Death seemed preferable to facing this crushing reality.

Never had she witnessed her grandmother appear so shaken.
"How?" The single word escaped her lips like a prayer laced with agony.
