Thank you so much for my first reviews of this story, was wondering whether or not to carry on, but your kind words have motivated me. As promised, my first reviewer has got a little mention in this chapter, and she may pop up again soon.

I do not own Bones, if I did Vincent wouldn't have died and would still be spreading his joyous facts with us.

Enjoy, and remember reviews make a girl very happy

Every time you go.

Grace's P.O.V

I had been in America for a couple of days now, and couldn't help but think of what I had left behind, so I pulled out my phone and dialled a number I had constantly called in the past few years.

"Hello Shannon, it's me. I just thought I should call and let you know that I'm fine. I've got a place to stay; im crashing on Seeley's sofa and I'm currently looking for a job, so everything is fine." Silence. "Shannon?"

"Gracie, why didn't you call sooner, I've been so worried."

"Im sorry, it's been hectic. Did you do what I asked?"

"Yes, I gave your mum the letter the day you left; she wants you to get in touch with her as soon as possible." I felt a pang of guilt in my chest, my poor family, my friends, my colleagues; no one had a clue, except for Shannon.

"Ok and what about him?"

"Well everyone's asking questions, especially him and what am I supposed to say? Grace I'm your best friend, no one believes that I don't know where you've gone."

"I know I'm so sorry…" My mind wandered as I noticed that Lance had just walked in, I waved and mouthed a hello, whilst gesturing to the empty seat in front of me. "..Look I've got to go, but thank you for everything. Love you."

"Hello. I wasn't interrupting anything was i?" Lance asked.

"No, nothing." I had been sat in the diner for the past hour on my own, attempting and failing to find a job. Apparently the charm of an English accent only worked when chatting someone up, not when charming someone to employ you. No one wanted to hire me.

"Job hunting ay? Much luck?"

"Not really, no one wants an annoying psychology student to intern for them." I sighed, it looked as if I would have to take up waitressing or something other than my passion.

"I have a proposition for you, now im not promising anything but if I can organise it, how would you like to work with me?" Oh Lance Sweets I could kiss you right now!

"That would be amazing, thank you."

"So I was just wondering why did you decide to come to DC?" Oh crap, it was easy enough to spin a lie to Seeley, but Lance was a very talent psychologist he would definitely see through my lies.

"Well, I needed a change and I missed Seeley. We all need to fly the nest eventually, so I went for it. It's not like i had anyone holding me back." I just threw out every single cliché of a young girl fleeing home, and it seemed to work.

"Ah I see, so no boyfriend?" I was on the verge of answering him when I noticed the doors open and in walked Vincent and Hodgins. I watched them stroll in and order, hoping they'd come sit with us, that's when Vincent's eyes met mine. "So that's a no to the boyfriend back home, but there might be someone here?" Lance had noticed mine and Vincent's little moment, and smiled as he moved over to let Hodgins in next to him, whilst Vincent took the empty seat next to me.

"It's nice to see you again Grace."

"Hey, I hope you didn't get into too much trouble yesterday."

"Well let's just say she wasn't too happy but it was worth it."

Swoon, why did he have to be so cute, and so charming? I didn't want to get involved with anyone, but it was hard to resist him.

So the plot thickens, why is Grace really here? Who is the 'he' she speaks of? Well gang you'll just have to wait, all will be revealed :)
