Fun fact: as of July 2023, Ace and Nancy have been together for over three years.
They've already seen the sun rise over the Goreme National Park at Cappadocia. And they absolutely got drunk on local wine love as they watched the Parisian sunset at Pont Des Arts, with Ace reciting poetry in flawless French the whole time.
Ace was the cause of the Great Horseshoe Bay Sorbet Shortage and the reason local grocery stores had to up their orders. And Nancy was voted customer of the month by Horseshoe Baygels staff at least 12 times.
They visited Grant in his new city, had game nights with the crew, and went on road trips both for cases and just because. And while Rebecca taught Nancy secret Hardy family recipes, Ace went fishing with all the dads (if the mermaid attacked them once, who's to tell).
They babysat Leo for Connor and Lily and spoke about the family they would eventually build and the names Kate and Lucy.
Ace joined Nancy every single time she had to bail Ryan and Red out after the latter released some demon from an ancient relic and Nancy helped Ace study for his autopsy technician certificate.
They've argued about whose car to take to the weekly family dinners, what color to paint their living room, and how much is enough when it comes to donating blood.
Together they've worked for Nick's city council campaign, volunteered for all of Bess's events at #HistSo, and cheered George on as she graduated pre-law a few months ago. They've hosted Passover seders, Thanksgiving dinners, and Chanukah celebrations, and they've made a home together where everything is half Nancy, half Ace and altogether theirs.
They've been freakishly happy for the past three years; we merely need to catch up with them.
