"Thank you for staying last night, Boyd. It was so nice not to be alone." Grace says sweetly. She finishes her make-up and stands up to put her shoes on.
"You look lovely, Grace. That's quite a different outfit for you." Boyd's jaw nearly drops when he see Grace's entire outfit.
"Thank you, Boyd. I appreciate the compliment." Grace says with a smile.
"Heels would top off that outfit perfectly." Boyd suggests gently.
"I know, but I can't wear heels all day. I'll have to settle for flats." Grace puts her shoes on and goes downstairs to collect her things for work.
Boyd watches Grace as she moves around the room and his breath catches in his throat when she bends over to put things in her large briefcase.
"I know you're watching me, Boyd." Grace says standing in front of bookcase not facing him.
Boyd sighs heavily. He's been caught. He hates getting caught. He slowly walks towards Grace. "You're beautiful, Grace." He puts his hands on her shoulders.
"Why did it take you so long to realize and say something?" Grace asks quietly.
"I'm an idiot, Grace. You know that better than anyone. I practically have to be hit over the head with something before I take notice even if it does seem obvious to everyone else. I can be oblivious most of the time." Boyd says seriously.
"You're such an idiot, Boyd." Grace turns around to face Boyd. She puts her hands flat on Boyd's upper chest.
Boyd brushes Grace's hair back from her forehead. Grace looks up at Boyd and she can feel her nerves kicking in. She's always wary of what Boyd is going to do when he looks at her that way. Boyd hesitates for a moment before he puts his hand under Grace's chin and slowly kisses her.
Grace can almost feel her entire body sigh happily when Boyd kisses her. She's almost in shock, but she doesn't want him to think she's not enjoying the kiss. She slowly responds to Boyd's kiss.
"Grace?" Boyd asks with confusion.
"Don't question it, Boyd. Just go with it." Grace says firmly.
"Okay, we'll just go with it then. Come on, let's get going. Do you have everything you need to have today?" Boyd asks as he and Grace walk into the hall.
"Yes, I just need a file from my desk. Why don't you go out and start the car and I'll be right out?" Grace suggests to Boyd.
"Alright, that sounds like a good idea." Boyd puts his coat and scarf on and opens the front door. "Grace! Have you looked outside? I don't think we're going anywhere. There's about a foot of snow out here."
Grace comes over to stand next to Boyd. "You said it was going to snow. We just didn't know it was going to snow today."
Boyd closes the front door and says, "I'm going to call Spence and see what we can get accomplished today. I wonder if I can get those files from the other four bodies founds in the same area."
"Boyd, you're going to make some poor bike courier bring the files over when you won't drive yourself? Don't even think about it. We'll just call it a day. I don't want anyone to take the risk. We can do some work on the psychological profile while we're here. London is going to be shut down."
