Chapter 47
Grayson scrolled through the channels, trying to find something to occupy himself while he waited for Ari, but couldn’t find anything. But he was glad that Ari and her mother were talking. It was a step in the right direction, at least. And no matter what happened, the line of communication between then was now open once again. He turned his attention back to scrolling, when a video of him at his press conference flashed on a channel, just as Ari walked out of the bedroom with her mother.
He quickly turned off the television. He had hoped that maybe they could come to America and temporarily leave the past behind, but Grayson knew that wasn’t going to happen.
Grayson stood. “How did it go?” he asked, taking her hands into his own.
“Good.” But there were tears in her eyes, no matter what she said.
Grayson raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”
Then a broad smile spread across her face as she nodded. “Yes, of course.”
