I have some rather different ideas about the character and the relationship, but nonetheless, your writing style is VERY good, and it's impressive that you came up with all this based on five minutes! :-)
Oh, I really liked this. Especially the sense that her feelings for Harold always had a certain ambiguity, an awkwardness--much as his for hers. Yet that didn't make their connection less real and less important. So basically I'm sitting here feeling sniffly and AWWWWW over both of them.
Heee. Thank you--that was sort of what I was going for, with the whole thing (also, it's very hard not to imagine that a woman Harold would propose to would be, well, pushy and needy about it--not that I think either of those is wrong, I just don't think they fit him. Even the him from before The Machine)
Lovely portrait, convincing and compelling. The neediness and isolation of Grace would certainly recommend her to Finch, as would her undemanding nature and gentle creativity. Thank you for shaing this insightful look at a new character.
Wow! This was pretty amazing and thorough for a character we just saw a few minutes. Your take on Grace feels pretty spot on and she seem like the kind of girl Finchwould had fell for. I also liked you went way back on the character and not just write about the time between her and Finch (though I did enjoy the part of them together very much) Oh, and the 'I love you' Finch left Grace with the ASCII codes was lovely and totally something I could see him doing.
I really enjoyed the character you created and I found her non-romantic relationships--such as with her siblings and her roommate--so interesting that I was almost surprised when Harold came along: you created a Grace who was worth reading about in her own right. Nicely done!
