Edward POV
Spending that whole night with Grace makes me want to spend the rest of my life with her. I know I'm being completely irrational, but it's what is true. I am currently debating whether to go over and see her at the police station or not. Heck, I'm in my mid-eighties, who really cares anymore? It's not like she will reject me; her feelings to me are mutual.
I climb into my car; it will look odd if I run over. I make sure to have cash on me so that I can pay my ticket, giving me an excuse to see her.
I'm there in 15 minutes, walking up the steps and into the station. Grace is sitting at the front desk, thoroughly bored and planning a way of asking the chief if she can go out on the next call out. When she catches my scent creeping it's way through the station her head snaps up to look at me. I can tell she's pleased to see me, but a little confused. She feels like she is insignificant and not worthy of being anything to anyone. I smile light heartedly at her.
'Hello,' I say when I reach the desk.
'Hello yourself, what can I do for you?'
'Well I thought I'd pay this ticket, seeing as I just got my pocket money,' I chuckle.
I hand over the money and the ticket. 'I could still put points on your license,' she smirks.
'Now why would you WANT to do that?' I say, putting on my charming voice. It never fails.
She only smiles at me and puts the money away. I feel like doing something childish, like sticking my tongue out, but I refrain from showing my true colors. She looks up at me expectantly. She asks me mentally if there is anything else I want to confess to. I can't help but laugh.
'Well, I was wondering if you wanted to do something today?'
She tilts her head slightly. 'I'm working, and I can't really-'
At that moment the chief of police appears and interrupts her. 'Grace, is this man asking you out?'
I must admit I am faintly surprised at how open he was.
'You've worked too hard,' he continues, 'and I think you deserve a break. Go on and hang out, or whatever you young'uns do these days. You know you deserve it.'
He leaves and Grace looks at me. 'So, what are we doing today?'
'I have a faint idea,' I say. This gets her interested but she shoves away whatever she's feeling and reminds herself that I'm younger than her.
'But technically I'm older than you,' I say, grinning.
'Get out of my head, Edward,' she grunts at me. I open the door to the passenger seat in my car and shut it behind her once she's clambered in I shut it behind her.
We reach the edge of the forest and I kill the engine. It took longer than usual to get here because I didn't speed. I'm round at her side to open the door for her before she can even think about getting out, and that's quick, even for me.
'Thank you,' she murmurs and clambers gracefully out of the car. I think she brought grace from her past life because every move she makes everyone makes the comparison with her and a swan. And I would know.
Sorry it's not very long at all, I've hit writers block :/ Ideas appreciated:)
