(Grell's POV)
I stood in the bathroom of my tiny apartment, making sure that my hair and makeup were perfect and preparing myself for the day ahead. Today was the day I was finally going to tell Will that I was completely, hopelessly in love with him. That he wasn't just another guy I flirted with. I had rehearsed what I was going to say to him in front of the mirror a thousand times, though I knew that no amount of practicing could prepare me for the moment when it came.
As I turned away from the mirror, I glanced at my reflection one last time. I looked stunning, as usual. I just hoped it would be enough.
Little did I know, as I grabbed my coat and sauntered out the door to work that today my heart would be shattered beyond repair.

UPDATE: For those of you rereading this fanfic, you will notice I changed all of the pronouns concerning Grell. I'm not even sorry...
