Who: @gracemorrisellison and Ellie Where: Ellie's apartment When: July 20, 2024

By the time Ellie had woken up that morning, she had an overwhelming amount of texts from her friends and family wishing her a happy birthday. Of course one of the first ones was from Grace and as they continued to text all morning, they planned on a girl's day for her birthday. She knew Grace would take care of everything and despite Ellie's greatest efforts to offer some help. Surrendering to that, she decided to clean the apartment a bit while Jake was at her parent's house for the day and Jordan was out. Though she let Grace know the door would be open, she wound up locking it and allowing Grace to use her key; at her insistence. After cleaning up a bit, she plopped down on the couch, joined by both her dogs and decided to watch some tv while she waited for Grace to stop by.

who: ash & grace @ftgrace where: the jade palace

ASH WAS AWARE THAT THEY stuck out like a sore thumb. their thrifted clothes, worn out and threadbare, was probably the worst offence, but their unwashed hair would be a close second. it didn't bother them, or even matter, because if they started thinking about it too much they wouldn't be able to go through with it. after spending the better part of two weeks worrying about grace suddenly realising who she had been talking to ( or their parents knocking on ash's door, or ... him coming to take them back to london ) ash was frustrated. they wanted to live the life they had built for themselves in blue harbor. they knew that it wasn't what their parents, or grace even, had wanted for them. they would be scandalised in fact. but it ash's life that they had control over and friends that felt more like family than their biological one ever had. which had lead them to make a, maybe stupid, decision. they knew that grace would never settle for anything but the best and, even if she was only here for a short time, she would be staying at the best room the jade palace had to offer. it was very unlike the experience ash had when she arrived in blue harbor, living out of the weaver ridge inn for a month before being able to rent an apartment. it was ash's first time stepping foot inside the beautifully sculpted rooms and they had been waiting for around twenty minutes before they saw their sister stepping into the lobby, heading for the restaurant. before they could think too much ash took a deep breath before hurrying up to her. "hey ! i need to talk to you." ash knew they had to look insane, just appearing out of nowhere. "do you really not remember me ?"
