The Europe leg of Taylor's tour had come to an end and she was back in New York, sitting through some meeting that seemed to be droning on forever. The singer wished she could be back in her penthouse apartment already, knowing her family waited for her return.

"Taylor, are you paying attention?" Tree snapped, startling Taylor just enough to bring her back into reality.

"Hmm? Yes, sorry," Taylor answered. While she appreciated her team very much and would not be where she was today without them, she was tired and grumpy that day, missing Grace just a little too much.

"Would you like to share your input on the new merchandise?" Tree asked, trying to bring Taylor into the conversation in hopes of not losing her again.

"Not too expensive. I want people to buy it, not put a lean on their house for it."

She was finally free half an hour later and was able to leave the office space Tree worked in most of the time. It was a three story building that was about to undergo expansion, outside was loud and filled with construction workers.

In London, five hours ahead of Taylor's time, Grace was finishing a meeting of her own. She had a press conference coming up about the new organization the Kent's were founding for Cancer patients and needed to be prepped.

It was approximately five o'clock before she got back to her home in Knightsbridge, also known as the pretty much the most expensive and posh neighbourhood in the city. Her family home, the same one she had returned to as a small child was elegant and large, outranking Taylor's Rhode Island home by a long shot.

"Grace, will you be needing me tonight?" Joe asked as he approached the brunette in the kitchen, she was just filling up a glass of water before going to call Taylor.

He was dressed in a white button up and dark pants, he had also combed his hair back in a more formal way than it normally sat so that any pictures of the two of them out that day would look more "presentable," as requested by Robert Kent himself.

"No, you have plans?" Grace questioned, she really didn't need him to stick around because she wasn't going anywhere besides maybe the garden outside. Taylor didn't want him to leave but she didn't have an issue with him going out if she wasn't going anywhere. 

"I was hoping to go see a few of my old mates in the pub down the block, as long as that's alright with you?" Joe asked, glancing at his watch.
