DOMINIC'S POV
Grace's house hasn't changed since I was a child.
Same Persian rugs, same portraits in heavy frames, same smell of old wood and something floral that I've never been able to identify. I used to find it suffocating. Tonight it just smells like history.
Emma carries Claire. I have Sophia. Lily and Daniel are behind us, which I didn't expect but Grace specifically asked for, which I also didn't expect. Mrs. Kowalski declined the invitation with the diplomacy of someone who has strong feelings about Grace Westbrook and prefers to keep them private.
The housekeeper leads us to the dining room.
Grace is already seated at the head of the table. She stands when we come in, which is not something Grace Westbrook does for anyone, and the gesture lands on everyone in the room diffe
