King didn't know what to do. He didn't want to just leave her to stand and stare in the shower. He undressed and stepped in the shower.

Grace turned around to protest.

"I'm only in here to hold you." King said

The tears fell freely and when King reached out his arms, she immediately fell into them and sobbed. He held her.

They didn't speak any more words to each other

They didn't speak any more words to each other. King held her and she held on to him. When King felt a chill, he opened the shower door and got a towel for the both of them and dried Grace off first. He didn't have any extra clothes with him, so he walked back to bedroom with boxers only. Grace dressed for bed and climbed into bed and opened her Twinkie. She did a soft moan when she bit into it. King smiled.

He walked over and sat down on the foot of the bed. Grace threw the remote beside him. He picked it up and turned to Sports center.
Grace pulled the covers back and patted the side that he should lay. She got further under the cover and turned towards the tv. He wanted Grace to talk to him but he didn't want to pressure her. He got in the bed and got under the covers. He was careful not to touch her. He didn't want to revisit what had happened yesterday. Soon Grace was asleep and his eyes were getting heavy, he needed to rest.

He woke up before she did

He woke up before she did.

"Grace." King said

She stirred and opened her eyes to see him staring at her.

"How long have you been up?" She asked

"Not long." King told her

"I need to get up and check my messages. I have to check on George too." Grace said

"We can just lay here for a few more minutes." King said rubbing her arm.  Grace looked up at King. Her mind was racing. She couldn't pretend that they had a future.

"I'm starving." Grace said as she got out of bed and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth"Pancakes sound good to you?" She asked him

"Yes. They do." King said. He wanted to say more. He wanted Grace to talk about what she wanted to do. How she felt. He wanted her to say something.
