“That went well,” Conner said when he entered the hotel room.

Grace turned from the window where she’d stood. “Pilar doesn’t look good.”

Conner nodded and sat on the couch. He loosened his tie. “The medication has been as devastating as the disease. She’s allergic to most of it.” He exhaled as if he’d been holding the emotions of their meeting inside.

Grace sauntered to him. “I was surprised she didn’t want to use the diagnostics center.” She kept her tone as casual as she could.

“I wasn’t. It makes sense that she’d want the test done at a place she could trust.”

What about our trust? Grace thought.

“And the medical center costs much less than the diagnostics center. Pilar said it’s only two hundred dollars. I gave her a check.”

Her glance stayed on Conner for a long moment before she said, “What do we do now?”

“Well, Pilar thinks it’s a good idea for us to meet Solomon.” He paused, and though he looked straight ahead, Grace knew he was watching her. “Even before the results are back.”

Inside, she still wanted to fight. “As long as she doesn’t introduce you as the boy’s father, Conner.”

His eyes were weary, but he smiled. “Thank you, Grace. Pilar’s going to call tomorrow. We’ll probably go on Saturday.”

Grace nodded. “I’m going to lie down for a little while.”

She kissed Conner, reassuring him that all was well. But what she really wanted was time alone. She needed to focus, put herself inside Pilar’s shoes, and figure out just how far she’d be willing to walk if she were in the same place.
