Grace was sat in between Keeley and Rebecca as the stadium cheered when Richmond scored a penalty, Dani in charge of taking the shot. Rebecca reaching over grabbing Grace's hand in suspense as a hush falls over the stadium . Dani takes the shot, not noticing their mascot, Earl the Greyhound running toward a pigeon right in the corner of the goal, leaping as the pigeon began to fly away but the ball uncontrollably heading straight towards the poor pup hitting him with force as he was knocked down with a yelp.
Grace covered her mouth in shock and horror letting out a gasp. "Fucking hell." She whispered to herself. "I can't bear it." She looked away as she stood up walking out the box.

Grace stood in a small huddle of Beard, Nate, Ted, Colin and Zorreaux as they watched Dani standing still underneath the running shower still dressed in all his kit, mumbling something in Spanish.
"He's been like this for minutes." Zorreaux informed them.
"He's gonna use up all the hot water." Colin sighed.
"Shut up Colin." Grace shook her head at him as he nodded guiltily.
"Maybe someone should talk to him." Beard whispered as they all look over to Grace in sync.
"What? Me?"
"He likes you. He looks up to you." Beard shrugged.
"Yeah and it's called boobs." Colin chuckled to himself as Grace hit her arm into his stomach making him groan.
"Fuck off Colin." Grace mumbled as he and Zorreaux made their way out. "It should be you Ted, not me, you're the coach." Grace patted him on the shoulder. "I'll be upstairs, good luck." Grace made her way upstairs to Rebecca's office, Keeley and Higgins already in there.
"Hiya, babes." Keeley smiled up at her as Grace crashed on the sofa beside Keeley.
"How's the whole situation holding up on the internet?" Grace asked Higgins as Rebecca handed her a cocktail.
"Well weirdly, we just received a giant food delivery from our rivals over at Brentford F.C."
"Oh.... Well that's surprisingly nice what food?" Grace furrowed her eyebrows.
"Thai." Higgins answered as Grace rolled her eyes. "Oh no i get it now." Grace couldn't help but let out a small smile as she sipped on her cocktail.
"Howdy, y'all." Ted knocked on the door making his way in as everyone greeted him cheerfully in sync.
"What do you say to a cocktail, Coach Lasso?" Rebecca asked.
"Oh, the same thing I'd say to Diane Sawyer if she ever asked me out on a date 'Yes, please'." Ted beamed as he took a seat next to Grace.
"How was the talk?"
"Ehhhh?" Ted stuttered slightly. "Good... yeah.... Yeah no it's not good.... You know Gracie i think it would be-"
"I'll go and talk to him. Just make sure she doesn't drink my cocktail." She smirked pointing to Keeley as she walked out and back downstairs.

"Come on at least give me a clue." Rebecca whined slightly holding onto Grace's hand as they sat closely together on her sofa in her office.
"No. I told you there's nothing I want. Maybe just a nice dinner with you and Keels but that's it."
"You're such a pain." Rebecca couldn't help but smile as Grace chuckled at her both looking at the door when there was a knock.
"Hey Boss, oh hey Gracie. Aww look at you two, you're like Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in every single rom-com they've done together. My favourite was the old classic, 50 first dates."
"Wedding Singer." Rebecca raised her hand.
"I love Music and Lyrics." Grace sighed happily.
"That's Hugh Grant, babe." Rebecca sighed looking back at her phone.
"Oh shit yeah, still a good movie." Ted nodded along in agreement. "But my favourite Drew and Adam film? Probably Blended. Just like my favourite Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler film is Just Go With It."
"Only cause you get to see her in a bikini Grace." Rebecca mumbled.
"One of the reasons!" Grace defended herself.
"Ted has Grace been talking about anything that she wants." Rebecca asked Ted, changing the subject as Ted entered into the office.
"Not this again." Grace mumbled to herself sighing.
"No why? Oh! The big birthday, how long now?"
"A week." Grace smiled in slight excitement.
"Your Auntie still staying with you?"
"Ohhh yeah." Grace let out a big sigh of annoyance. "Driving me crazy as well. But she's just booked her next flight, she's going to visit some of our family in Australia."
"You have Aussies in your family?!" Ted gasped in shock and excitement.
"Yeah my grandad on my Mum's side is Australian, and that's who she's visiting, my grandparents, they live in Brisbane i used to visit them every summer when I was younger.... And no don't go buying me a ticket to Brisbane." Grace glared at Rebecca as Rebecca threw her arms up in giving up.

Grace was stood outside observing practice to pass some time but easily getting distracted by her phone, Rebecca constantly texting her although she was not far away. Everyone was trying to get Dani to score a goal as he had missed all of them.

Are you sure you don't want anything for your birthday?
Grace looked up to see Rebecca standing at the many windows overlooking the field from her office, staring down at her. Grace smirked as she looked at her in the corner of her eye before holding her middle finger up at her not looking away from her phone, that was until a ball smacked into her face.
"Ah fucking hell."
"SORRY GRACIE!" She heard Dani yell.
"It's fine Dani." She yelled back at him rubbing her nose slightly, moving her hand away she noticed blood on it.
"Here, hold your head back." The soft voice of Rebecca came from behind Grace as Rebecca pinched Grace's nose and tilting her head back.
"Ow!"
"Don't be such a pussy." Rebecca rolled her eyes as she placed a hand on Grace's back leading her back into the building. Sitting her down on the benches in the small gym as Rebecca pulled a packet of tissues out of her pocket. Grace took them and rolled them up, sticking them up her nose to soak up the blood.
"How sexy do I look with tissue up my nose?" Grace smiled goofily with a small chuckle.
"So sexy." Rebecca rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Maybe I'll get you a new nose for your birthday."
"Do you really want to know what I want?"
"Yes!"
"Okay.... If you're that desperate to get me physical presents get me the straight forward stuff like perfume. But what's most important is, a nice meal with you , me, Keeley and my Aunt, have a few drinks, then we go back to yours maybe for a few more drinks, maybe watch something, play that game Keeley is always begging us to play, then we send the other two home and me and you just spend the night together."
"Mmm doing what?" Rebecca raised her eyebrows suggestively.
"Sleeping in separate beds, I've always thought that guest bed of yours looked way comfier than yours." Grace laughed as she watched Rebecca's face drop into an unimpressed face.
"You know you're not funny." Rebecca glared at Grace as she walked away.
"I'm hilarious!"
