It is exactly a republication of the 2019 story. I was locked out of this account for literally 6 years and had to post this from VirtualScottToo in the interim -- now that I've regained access, I wanted it to be with my other stories.
CronoDAS asks "what's with the [notes] after the end of the story?"
Sloppy editing. I had a few notes on where I thought the story might continue, and a title for the next part, and forgot they were there when I copy-pasted everything into the submission form. Oh well. In a perfect world, I would have remembered to remove these notes; they're sort of a teaser for what would happen to Grace next, but I'm not sure I'll ever get around to writing it so probably it's just annoying.
Good story, terrible ending. Ditch the last scene with the coach and the woman and its great.
