“What are you wearing?”

Sarah whispered, “Grant.”

Eliza made a soft, broken sound. Caleb just stared.

“Yeah.”

Sarah exploded. “Are you out of your mind? She thought you were dead.”

Grant flinched.

His gaze snapped to mine. “Mom, I’m sorry. I didn’t think. I just wanted to surprise you by showing up here in my uniform. I thought it would be funny.”
