CHAPTER FOURTEEN
The next morning was spent cramming in a marathon study session. She hadnât mentioned her plans to her good friend, because she wanted to be able to surprise her after sheâd passed the exam. It wasnât like her foster sister had ever judged her for dropping out. Michelle had known all about the hellishly extenuating circumstances of their home life. Sheâd known better than anyone else the reality of her abuse.
No, Michelle had neither belittled her nor pressured her to do anything about her incomplete education. But deep down Grace had always wondered if that was really a good thing. Was Michelle just being nice? Or did her friend not believe that she had it in her to actually turn her life around and make something of herself? Part of her didnât want to know the answer to that question.
Henry was off at work, so she had the house to herself. With her past boyfriends, the alone time would have thrilled her, but he wasnât like the other men who had waltzed in and out of her life. When he was gone it was like a little slice of her went away too, and she couldnât wait to get it back. Trying not to focus too much on his absence she kept herself busy.
Sadly she had dropped out of school at a younger age than most, so she had a hell of a lot of learning to catch up on. That didnât mean she couldnât do it, just that she needed to be realistic about things. Most people were able to prep for the exam in a few months but she was having to go as far back as junior high and even middle school in some areas to fill in the serious gaps in her education.
To complicate matters further, sheâd never been a strong reader so going over the material took her far more time than it would others. Sometimes she had to read a sentence over and over again before it finally made sense. Some of the stuff still didnât make sense, so then she had to read articles on homeschooling sites or watch YouTube videos until it clicked. Bit by bit her stores of knowledge began to grow.
More than once sheâd had to ask for Henryâs help explaining something because even that wasnât enough to get through her thick skull. But surprisingly she wasnât ashamed. As Henry kept saying, it was okay to ask for help. She was determined to improve herself, so she kept her eyes on the prize and kept working at it.
Eventually, she reached the point where her brain was so fried that she literally couldnât shove in one more piece of knowledge. Thatâs when she decided to take a break and spend some time tidying up the house. Henry kept things clean to begin with, so all it really needed was some light dusting and sweeping. There wasnât an ounce of carpet in the entire place so at least she didnât have to bother with finding a vacuum cleaner.
