Author's note - I know this is a really sad time for all... The final episode of the show we love will be airing tonight. I will definately be tuned in and will be joining all of you for the goodbye....
Once and Again will be no more.
The summer was fast approaching. You could smell it coming as a soft breeze blew by. It was midnight, and the main house was dark and quiet. Rick and Lily lay fast asleep in their bed, Zoe in her room, and Jessie in the attic. Grace's bed, however, hadn't been slept on. Late Friday nights, she would sneak out of the house and into the garage to be with Eli.
A splinter of light escaped the garage from the space under the door. And faint sounds of murmurs and surpressed laughter. On the lone blue throw rug, Grace sat in flannel pajamas and white shirt, cross legged leaning her back against his bed. Lying face toward the ceiling, flat on his back, Eli toyed with a lock of Grace's hair.
"What does DNA stand for?" Grace read the review questions from the workbook in her lap. After work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, while all the other members of the house thought he was rehearsing with his band, Eli had been going to college prepatory classes. The connection that Eli felt with Grace was unlike any other feeling he had ever had. He was always thinking about her, wanting to be with her. To make her smile. Very few people in the world possessed the personality that demanded attention and honor...and as far as he was concerned: Grace was one of them. She made him want to be a better person.
"Deoxy Ribonucleaic Acid..." he rushed as he exhaled a breath. He really wasn't thinking about Science at the moment. Room. Bed. Grace. Alone. Those four words raced around in his thoughts. "Okay...that finishes up Science. And now we have History." Grace said trying her best to stifle a yawn. "Ugggghhh!" Eli moaned and turned on his side. Stroking her hair with his fingertips. "Hey! None of That!" Grace swatted at his hand playfully. "Not until we finish these questions." she said as sternly as she could although a smile was on her face. She could tell he was making those puppy dog eyes that she couldn't resist. She whipped her head around when he started making the whimpering sounds. "Eli!" she adminished with a laugh.
Sure enough, he was in full puppy dog mode. Puckered, quivering bottom lip out and everything. Grace placed a hand on his arm and squeezed gently. "You asked ME to help YOU, remember? Not the other way around, I know you can do this Eli..." He nodded his head reluctantly in submission. He couldn't resist her either. "Thank you baby," she smiled and he leaned in to kiss her briefly on the lips.
"OK, bring on the questions..." he sighed. "That's more like it,"
