A Moment of Grace

The protagonist, Lane Dean, while sitting at a lake, experiences a moment of grace where he feels a deep connection and understanding with someone named Sherry. Through this vision, he sees into Sherry's heart and learns of her internal struggle. Sherry then holds Lane Dean's hand, confesses that she cannot do something she promised, and expresses her inner turmoil and apologies. The moment leaves Lane Dean with a sense of brokenness but also understanding and empathy for Sherry's sincerity and struggle.
