Summary
Clearly, Grace’s refusal to engage with Simon’s outwardly destructive behavior had given Simon an excuse to turn that destructive behavior inwards.
The beam of his flashlight swept across the sandy beach, illuminating the rolling waves. The distant hum of the wave machine combined with the sound of water crashing was just enough of a comfort to make Grace want to close his eyes and go back to sleep right there.
But he couldn’t, not without Simon at his back.
--
For the first time in a while, Grace wakes up alone. Simon is nowhere to be found.
Until Grace does find him...in the ocean, with no pulse.

Summary
Grace set down the bowl he had been mixing things in and walked over to Simon, whose chopped vegetables were coming out in very uneven slices due to a combination of shaking hands and blurry vision.
“Are you feeling alright…?” Grace reached his hand up in an attempt to feel Simon’s forehead.
Simon flinched. Like, full on, jumped backwards and pointed the knife in Grace’s direction. His leg muscles tightened as if he was preparing to run, but whether it was away from or towards Grace, he wasn’t sure.
--
Simon wanted nothing more to prove he could be helpful.
Every step of the way proved to be a battle.
