Xander pulled out a chair for Grace. "How is it different?"

Steam rose from the chicken soup on the table. Grace held a spoon and thought for a moment before answering, "You trust her a lot, and you guys have very good chemistry." Xander deftly changed the subject with a straight face. "Like you and Luke."

"That's not quite the same. You two are ..."

Before Grace could finish, Xander placed some side dishes in her bowl. "Eat up, then go to sleep."

"But by the time I wake up, you'll have to leave."

"Are you going to miss me?" He was merely teasing, but Grace's ears turned red.

"I didn't come back just to keep you awake. Be good."
