Grace gets in the shower and allows the hot water to relax her. She quickly washes her hair with her nectarine and white ginger shampoo that she knows will drive Boyd crazy. He loves that smell. She gets out of the shower and puts her big, fluffy bathrobe on. She finds her hair products and blow dryer under the sink and runs some mousse through her hair and then blow dries her hair. When she flips her head back up she's pleased with how her hair looks. She bounces down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Good morning by the way." Grace says as she pours herself a cup of coffee.
"Good morning to you, too." Boyd comes over to Grace and kisses her cheek. "The eggs are just about ready and the toast is in."
"That's great. Thank you, Boyd. It's really sweet of you to make breakfast." Grace says sweetly.
"Well, I didn't think you'd appreciate my other idea of grabbing breakfast on the way to work." Boyd smiles at Grace.
"I'll call for a cab. I know you hate to be late for work." Grace says casually. She leans on the counter as she makes the call and watches Boyd make eggs. He seems to be very competent in the kitchen at least Grace knows he won't burn down her kitchen. She hangs up the phone and sits down at the kitchen table.
Boyd looks over at Grace from his place in front of the stove. Grace looks beautiful. She's got no make-up on, but Boyd still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world. He wishes he and Grace could stay here all day and just relax and talk things out. He knows that some time in the near future Grace will want to have a very serious chat because that's just the way she is and he's not sure he's ready but he's going to have to be. He quickly dishes up the warm eggs and sets Grace's brown toast on the edge of one plate. He puts Grace's eggs down in front of her. "There you are." Boyd says with a kiss to Grace's cheek before he goes and pours himself another cup of coffee. He sits down across from Grace with his eggs and slice of white toast.
"These are very good, Boyd. I am very impressed." Grace says honestly. She never really believed he could cook at all before now.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Grace." Boyd says sarcastically. "It's just eggs. Any long term bachelor should know how to make eggs. I'm rubbish at baking anything, but I can make eggs and a couple of other things, including spaghetti bolognese."
"I'm just teasing, Boyd. I'm quite glad to know you haven't been living on toast and takeaways since you and Mary split up." Grace says gently. "Now, I am going to go get dressed. I'll be down before the taxi comes. You sit and eat the rest of your breakfast." Grace gets up and goes back up to the bedroom. She opens her wardrobe and looks at her options for the day. She wants to wear something chic in order to get Boyd's attention. She finds a chic, a-line black skirt, a pale pink blouse, and a white cardigan. She finds a pair of pink flats to wear. Her life has been feeling rather surreal and Boyd making breakfast is another example. When she comes back downstairs Boyd is already to go. He helps her into his coat and they head out to the taxi to go to work.
