She couldn't help that her girly instincts kicked as she shriveled up when her rather large dogs barked in her direction. Grace liked dogs but that initial meeting always tended to be a little awkward. She tried to unravel once she started moving closer to them. They looked well trained so it probably would've been fine but she would definitely prefer some assurance before she petted them. "It's ok," she said with a half confident smile.

She wondered where he could've been. Maybe he went to Madison's? He had mentioned going there before and he'd been doing it quite often. "No," Grace shook her head and laughed. She had nothing against Gabe but there was no comparison in relation to the fondness she felt towards another Hudson boy.
