A Giant's Grace

In her first year of living alone, Grace makes a fatal mistake. She ends up encountering a giant, which the tales have made out to be cruel beasts.

"Grace was starting to think that some of the stories she had been told about giants were probably exaggerated. But Grace recognized that she shouldn't jump to such wild conclusions. The giant could still betray her, he could still harm her at a moment's notice.

For some reason, Grace still decided to give the giant her name. Part of it was out of fear, but the other part came from a bold, reckless side of her.

'I'm G-Grace.' Aaden smiled.

'That's a beautiful name. Nice to meet you, Grace.'"
