ball, too,” Bella squealed back to Grace.
“Someday you will, Princess.” Grace didn’t want to get ahead of herself. She simply wanted to enjoy every remaining sensation from the night before.
The rest of the week flew by for Grace. She spent a tremendous amount of time picking out the perfect outfit for her upcoming date with Todd. She would choose one, love it, and then change her mind again. Grace went shopping twice and brought home three different outfits each time. In between her clothes dilemma, Grace and Todd were exchanging emails all day long.
Grace,
Thanks again for such a wonderful time the other night. I cannot express much fun I had talking with you. I am excited about our date on Saturday. BTW, did Cora call you yet? She has left me three messages. I think she is on to us.
-Todd
After rewriting her message multiple times, Grace finally replied.
Todd,
Cora has been even more persistent on my end. Since I have been extremely vague, she is employing new methods of ways to find out what is going on between us. I heard her talking to Mattias on the phone the other day. She actually asked him if I was acting strange. Mattias didn’t understand her question. If you are wondering, I have been acting strange this week. I have been happy.
-Grace
Todd smiled when he read Grace’s email. He knew exactly how she felt. His co-workers kept asking him what was going on with him. They saw a change in him too, but weren’t sure what was happening. Todd wasn’t really sure himself. All he knew was that he couldn’t wait to see Grace again. He wanted to spend as much time with her as possible so he took a risk and emailed Grace again.
Grace,
I was wondering if you would like to extend our dinner date on Saturday and take a drive with me into the Sierra Nevada Foothills. You are more than welcome to bring the kids; whatever makes you comfortable. We will do some light hiking so bring some good walking shoes. If you can make it, let me know what time you would like to leave.
-Todd
Grace was very excited to spend more time getting to know Todd. The children were already set to spend the weekend with Leslie and Robert, so she was completely free. Breaking her first dating rule, Grace invited Todd to pick her up at the house. Grace felt comfortable with Todd knowing where she lived. In fact, she felt very comfortable with Todd in general.
Hi Todd,
Your idea sounds like a lot of fun. My children are busy, so it will just be me. I will see you at my house around 8:00am.
-Grace
By the time Saturday arrived, Grace was a complete nervous wreck. She spent the morning in a frenzy of activity. What was wrong with her? She had been on several dates, albeit complete disasters, but she was never nervous, she thought to herself. She wasn’t worried about the date with Todd going poorly; in fact, she was more concerned about the connection she felt with him. Over the short period of time that she had already spent with Todd, feelings were beginning to emerge that frightened her. She found herself thinking about him a lot more than she was used to thinking about anyone, except Derek. Was he too good to be true? Was she building him up in her mind into something unrealistic?
She already knew that she was attracted to Todd and the feelings were more than mere friendship. She caught herself peeking glances at him the other evening when he wasn’t looking. She found herself choosing the right words in order to sound more interesting. She even went as far as thinking how it might feel for his lips to be upon hers in a passionate kiss. Just thinking about it again got Grace all aflutter. The feelings only intensified leading up to their date. When she received an email from him, her heart stopped and she got excited to read what he wrote. She savored his words and pondered the meaning behind each and every one. Grace Locke had a
