Banner thanks to the fabulous ViviLit!

Welcome to the appreciation thread for the coupling of Grace McCallister and Tom Wexler Graham. Tom entered the scene as Grace's new teaching assistant, and what started out as an appreciation for their fast friendship has grown into an obsession, er, admiration for their blossoming romance. These two share a chemistry that cannot be denied, and they are just getting started.

Tom/Grace Quotes:
Time Out of Life:
Grace: I have been completely banned from the second story of my own house.
Tom: Well, with a dozen 13 year old boys there, it's almost hard to believe he doesn't want his mom around.
--------------
Tom: Don't worry about Bobby. He hasn't completely descended into adolescence. I mean, he's not the McCallister who's steaming up car windows making out with a member of the opposite sex.

Querida Grace:
Grace: I was thinking since this is our first public date that I could pour ketchup down my sweater, and then sit in your lap while you dip French fries in my bra.
Tom: That sounds great.
-----------------
Tom: I wish you wouldn't go.
