But many times I caught him looking, and I checked myself, and she would be just chilling, without making any music.”
Grace’s friends at the store told her how Frank went out of his way to help Kate, which worried Grace even more.
Despite trying to tell herself it was because Kate was new or young, Grace couldn’t shake off her worry.
She realized Frank seemed to like Kate a lot, especially since he avoided talking about her. Grace felt the situation was getting worse for their family.
The reality turned out to be quite different from what Grace initially believed.
One day, Grace had enough and talked to Frank about his strange behavior with Kate.
She didn’t accuse him but wanted to know why he was watching her so much.
Grace shared Frank’s reaction,
“He instantly went pale, then he said he was sorry, that he hadn’t even worried about how what he was doing would look from my own perspective.”
Frank confessed that Kate’s uncle, Lee, asked him to look out for her because she was going through a tough time.
Grace revealed: “He then found out that she was gay, and she was really struggling because her parents wouldn’t accept her.
Lee couldn’t tell Kate’s parents about her state and about the fact that she was off from work and in a very poor condition.
So, what Lee actually did was he asked my husband to keep an eye on Kate as much as he could to make sure she was okay and that she wasn’t having that meltdowns anymore.”
Frank realized he had made a mistake by not talking to Grace about Kate, and they decided to help Kate by paying for her therapy and becoming her friends.
In marriage, love isn’t the only thing that matters, there are also moments of trouble and disagreement.
However, what truly counts is navigating through these difficulties together as a couple, supporting each other rather than being at odds.
