"Grace!" her father says, looking down at her and smiling. She's standing outside the door to his office, Happy — who brought her here — just behind her. Her father reaches down and picks her up, and she wraps her arms around his neck.
She's happy to see him, despite the fact that there's a strange woman standing next to him whom she doesn't know. She's unfazed, though; she's used to strangers.
"Grace, I want you to meet my new assistant," her father says. "This is Pepper Potts."
Grace, mimicking what she's seen her father do a thousand times, holds one of her hands out for Pepper to shake.
Pepper smiles at her, and gently shakes her hand. "Hi. Your father told me we'd be seeing a lot of each other from now on."
Grace almost immediately decides that she likes this woman. She likes her bright red hair and her soft smile, and the light tone of her voice.
She smiles back at her.
