"So where are you wanting to drive," Graham asks Ace as he gets in the passenger side of the car.
"I don't know, I just need to get away. Nyssa has A Charitable Earth handled, and after we almost died; I just want to get the hell out of dodge for a bit."
"I get you, this time we couldn't do anything when we were dusted." Graham doesn't tell her that seeing her turn to dust before his eyes killed him. If he wasn't dusted a few seconds later she would've died of a broken heart. Losing two people he loved wasn't fun. Looking back at Ace who is focusing on the road ahead, he takes a moment to watch her as she stops at a light.
"Graham," she says, trying to get his attention. She looks to see a soft smile on his face. "Graham, are you there?"
"Huh, what yes I am."
"Where did you go?"
Not thinking, and just answering, "admiring your beauty. Did you do something to your hair?"
"I dyed it, wanted a change."
"It looks good, a new hairstyle too?"
Ace moves the car forward as the light turns green, "when we stop for food, you are going to tell me how you can tell."
"Can't a guy admire a woman's beauty."
"If it's respectful." She makes a sharp turn and pulls up to a little coffee shop. "Good now you can tell me how you notice these things about me that quickly."
"I will go get us something to drink," he gets out of the car, Ace watches as he hurries inside and as his hand goes to his chest.
'What is going on,' she asks herself.
A few minutes later Graham comes out with two steaming cups and a smile on his face. Ace leans to open the door for him. "So are you going to tell me what's up?"
"Ace, you know you are someone I admire right?"
"And I admire you."
"To me it's more than that."
"What do you mean?"
"Ace, I love you."
"You do?"
"Very much so," he looks deeply into her hazel eyes. "I love you Dorothy McShane."
"I love you too." He thinks she means as a friend.
"I don't think you understand how much I love you," he takes her head into his hands. "I am in love with you." He brings their lips together in a first kiss.
Ace puts her hands on his cheeks and when she needs to breathe breaks the kiss. Running her thumbs across his cheeks as they both open their eyes, "Graham, I do understand. I am in love with you too."
"You are?"
"Yes, I should've realized it much earlier, I have been though since we were dusted. I came to first, and the agony I felt seeing you not right next to me on the couch like you were before."
"Was one of the worst feelings ever."
"Exactly. When did you start to realize that you were in love with me?"
"When I started to dream of us getting married. Don't get me wrong, I had other dreams of us."
"You did?" She smiles at him waiting to hear the kind of dreams this man has had of them.
"All sorts of dreams."
"Tell me more."
"I think if we find a place to stay for a few days I can show you," he nearly growls.
