"Grace! That was incredible!" He beamed. "I"ve been wanting for so long for someone to put him in his place. You"re amazing!""His opinion of himself was just a little too high!" giggled Grace. "Plus I got really annoyed when he started to hit on me in front of you."
"Was that true? About the minute man thing?"

Grace nodded with a smirk, "Unfortunately for him, yes. Wasn"t hard to find out. He"s very self-conscious about it. I guess several of the girls he"s been with have told him about it and refuse to sleep with him again because of his lack of staying power."
"Oh my G.o.d, that"s hilarious!" Stephen laughed.
"Thank you, thank you," Grace bowed, playfully.
They finished their meal shortly after that, while still laughing about the interaction with Ram. After leaving the mall, Stephen drove them to the watchmaker to see if he could get the replacement part. Luckily, the watchmaker was able to help him out with a replacement gear train from a spare watch he had lying around. Stephen was very excited to take it back and see if he could finally get the old pocket watch running again.
Before he knew it though, it was time for him to be getting to work. Putting on his work colors, he turned to look at Grace when it was time to leave.
"Do you think you could come with me? Maybe turn invisible for me so we can talk?"
Grace beamed, "Of course, Stephen!"
His night at work was largely uneventful. The store usually was on Tuesday nights. Unfortunately, this wasn"t his night to work with Miguel, and he worked with another one of the older guys, Art. Yet, he was thankful that Abby wasn"t there either, not really wanting to confront that mess just now. Without any privacy on his own part, he mostly just communicated telepathically with Grace, except for one portion when he was in the break room on his own, and she magically appeared in his lap with a surprised smile. They both got a good chuckle out of that one. At one point, he even showed Grace where he had found her portal, down in the deep gully next to the store. She could only wonder how it could have gotten down there.
At the end of the night, Stephen helped to close up the store with the other employees. On his way home, Grace magically appeared in the pa.s.senger seat.
