   Summary

   “What’s a ‘truss’?” Grace asked, blue eyes glancing up at Simon from where he studied the tiles on the mat.

   Simon arched a brow as he looked at Grace, as if the answer should be obvious.

   “A truss,” Simon said plainly.

   “Oh. Okay,” was all Grace could say in response to Simon’s tone. “No, hold on–not okay–that doesn’t answer my question?”

   ----

   Grace and Simon play a friendly game of Scrabble, Simon decides to be a menace, Grace is bad at emotions and Rocky is stirring the pot.
