“Good morning all,” she said as she hurried. “Good morning to you,” Grace replied. “Don’t you look pretty today.” “Oh, thank-you, Grace. You’re a dear. You look spiffy yourself. Love that green.” Jimmy looked at the outfit Grace wore. And he agreed with his mother. She wore a plain white pair of pants that fit her to perfection, he thought, and that green, sleeveless blouse that hugged her flat stomach and small arms and was a glowing compliment to her skin tone. He always knew his Uncle Tommy had good taste, but the few women he’d ever seen him with weren’t quite like Grace. She was pretty like the others were, and had that air of sophistication too, but there was something far more down-to-earth about her. To Jimmy she seemed like the kind of girl who wouldn’t mind spending all day relaxing at the spa, but who also wouldn’t mind handing you the tools if you had to bleed the car brakes. All of Tommy’s previous ladies seemed kind of stuck-up and super girly-girl to Jimmy. But in Grace there seemed to be a less-complicated elegance about her. A woman who went against type. A woman who was strong enough to not think of herself as weak and insufficient if a man took care of her. Jimmy could now see why Tommy would have chosen her to be his wife, and maybe one day the mother of his children, above the others.
