Boyd sighs as he turns onto the street his mother lives on. He's introducing Grace to his mother today.

"Are you alright, Boyd?" Grace asks as she covers Boyd's hand gently with hers.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Grace. Just a little nervous. The last woman I introduced to my mother was Mary and that didn't go well." Boyd sounds frustrated already.

"I'll be on my very best behaviour. I promise." Grace leans over and kisses Boyd's cheek.

"It's not you I'm worried about. It's her. She tends to get hostile around the women I like." Boyd says honestly.

"She can't intimidate me. I'm not going to back down. You and I have fought hard to get where we are. Your mother won't control our future." Grace says firmly.

"Good, I'll stand behind you all the way. Let's go." Boyd says as he gets out of the car.

Grace tucks her hand into the crook of Boyd's arm. Boyd makes her feel safe. Boyd smiles down at Grace as they approach Boyd's mother's house. "I'll be alright Boyd."
