clear out the mice, and fix any furniture they’ve ruined. You've got until tonight. I'll send you her address.” His
instructions left no room for confusion.

Gracie sat in stunned silence. She had spent days coming up with this plan, never imagining Ethan would handle
the situation with such ease. If the mice were caught, what excuse would she have to stay here?
She bit her lip, unsure what to say. After sthought, she feigned gratitude. “Thanks for everything, truly. |
