When Gracie Met The Grump

by Mariana Zapata

And when you care about people, doing things for them was an honor.

“But so we’re clear, you being upset about something is important to me,”

“It hurts my feelings that I’m right here, that you’re right there, and you still think that you’re ever going to be alone again.”

“I always like you the most.”

“If I wouldn’t hurt a stranger that could use a foot up their ass, why would I hurt the only person I’m not related to that I’ve ever been able to be myself around?”

“There is no place I wouldn’t look for you. Seven miles deep in the ocean. On a planet in a distant galaxy. I would go anywhere for you if someone took you, Gracie,”

You’ll live as long as I do. We can haunt whoever you want after that.”
