Life is as hard and as easy as they say, walking the steps we've chosen on this day...
Grace is thirty today. She doesn't look it, but that's what happens when you're an angel and have always been small for your age anyway. It's the first birthday she's had that her dad didn't at least call her - not that he exactly could anyway, now.
She's out of the basement now, in the park across the street from the Conrad - yes, after dark, and she knows it's dangerous, but she has a gun on her that Romana's at least taught her how to use, not that she's ever used it on a person (or a monster or... whatever). Like maybe a walk and some fresh air will help the melancholy.
She should probably find Des. She hasn't seen him in over a week, and he is her ward, but... she's going to get around to it eventually. Really. Even if every time she's around him she gets the creeping feeling he doesn't want her now.
And anyway, she's... distracted now, flipping her cellphone open and closed as she walks. Her old home phone in California isn't programmed into this phone - it's the phone Romana got for her, what seems like ages ago now - but Grace still remembers it. She could call, just to let him know she's alive, hang up before he says anything...
The way her heart jumps to the point that she gets dizzy every time she seriously considers it, though, suggests that she probably won't.
