If you want to help, that's great. I just find housework to be relaxing ever since I got my place back.

I took your advice and I got a job offer.

[It's a job that will burn what's left of her bridges and possibly ruin what relationship she has with her mother, but there's no denying it's a fresh start.]

I know, but still. Let me help. Please.

Yeah? That's great news, babe! Where is it at?

[In his excitement and happiness for her, he's texted too fast and hasn't really noticed the term of endearment slipping in there. Bucky is genuinely happy for her, not knowing how this may change her relationship with her mother.]

Okay, I'll wait for you.

[She's not going to argue. How often does a man volunteer to help with housework?]

Internal affairs. I guess I'm staying in New York after all.

[Grace was still officially a member of the Detroit Police Department, simply persona non grata while everything involving her ex-boyfriend was settled. She had been spending the last few months essentially hiding out, going about a normal life in a state where nobody knew her and there was good baseball. But getting that job offer was a pleasant surprise. Someone wanted her to stick around.

The question was explaining that to her family, and leaving the state she'd grown up in. It wouldn't be a small change even though she's been in New York for a while now.]

Sounds like a really good opportunity! You're okay with staying here?

[They never really talked about where they want whatever they have to go, and Bucky knows they probably should, but part of him has been wanting for her to stick in the Big Apple ever since their first night together. This is good news, for her, but for them too. Whether she wants something more serious or not.]

We should celebrate this tonight. Wanna have dinner with me? I just discovered this sushi place, we could go there?

I'm gonna have to extend my lease, or maybe find another apartment, but yeah. I'd rather be where people want me to be.

[Grace has been living in a short-term rental, having figured she'd work in New York until it was safe to go back to Detroit. She'll have to talk to her landlord about making the living arrangement more permanent. And go through all the little details that come with an actual move. But New York isn't that much different from Michigan,`big and cold and with lots of places to get lost in.

And the most important part is that people here are asking her to stay instead of letting her go and disappear for a few months. They know her story and they still want her. And Bucky has always wanted her. What they have together, she can't replace and she doesn't want to.]

Sushi sounds fantastic. My place or yours afterward? Because I have a different kind of celebrating in mind after dinner.
