Liam hated his own powerlessness in the situation, but he also trusted Grace. As much as he didn't like to leave her to her own devices, publicly contradicting her would only ruin her strategy.

Lee had to hold back from blinking. Despite the tense stalemate and the threat's nature, Grace had cheered up speaking such words, even blushing slightly, as if nothing could make her happier.
