Grey was typically the girl that most parents liked, but she had heard some 'mixed' things about Emerson and Irving's parents so she was nervous about meeting them for the first time. Especially given the situation, things are fragile. But she wanted to her best to be respectful and supportive.

She couldn't really say 'nice to finally meet you,' it didn't feel appropriate. Instead she offered a meek 'hello' from behind Irving.

"Is he okay?" Irving asked with a furrowed brow as he approached the bedside.

"He's okay, just...hurting." Irving and Emerson's mother said before she went to stand up, abandoning her perch. "I'm Grace, that's my husband, Benjamin. We've...heard a lot about you." Grace introduced.

"Grey?" Emerson croaked when he finally realized she was in the room. "You here?"

"Good things, I hope." Grey offered, with a small half smile before turning her attention to Emerson upon him calling her name. She muttered a quiet, 'excuse me' as she moved past everyone to stand by Emerson's bedside. She took his hand tenderly in hers.

"It's me, I'm here." Grey said quietly, even know Emerson couldn't hear her.

Emerson forced a small smile through his pain and managed to sign "happy" at her with his free hand.

Grey smiled, tearing up a little bit before signing back.

"Rest. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."

"Prawmise?" Emerson managed upon deciphering Grey's signing.

Grey smiled softly and instead of signing or speaking, she just hooked her pinky with his and gave it a light squeeze.

Emerson gave a small smile at the gesture and gave Grey's hand a squeeze.

Meanwhile, Grace and Benjamin watched, an undeniable look of surprise formed between the two of them. Was Emerson wasn't that friendly...was he?

Emerson was still pretty banged up, so on the day of his release she offered to stay with him and tend to his things and help him out. It worked out because she hadn't quite nailed out a living situation yet, but there wasn't anyone else Grey would rather have spent her time with anyways. So she hummed happily after helping Emerson get settled onto the couch. Her hair as usual, clung to the fabric of his shirt anytime she leaned in and away.

Her hair had gotten long while she was away in Portland, so she pulled it up before signing to him.

"Can I get anything for you right this second? I was going to get some lunch started for us." She asked.

"No, I'm alright, but food sounds good." Emerson signed back, giving a worn out smile as he slumped into the couch. "But you don't have to fuss over me, you just got back, you should relax too." He tried to insist with a small, "ow" when his ribs gave a dull ache.

"Don't be dumb, I can't relax when you're like not well." Grey signed with a slight smile. "Relax, I'll just whip up some grilled cheese for the both of us. Okay? Then maybe we can do some proper catching up." She added before grabbing the tv remote and putting it in his lap for easy access.

Emerson gave a little "thank you" before turning on the TV, mostly to amuse Grey, and set the remote back into his lap, closing his eyes as he waited for Grey to make their lunch and return.

He was glad Grey was there with him, but he was still worried that things would be...awkward between them.

Grey busied herself in the kitchen, humming as she cooked. For her it felt almost natural to be back here with Emerson, in his house just fitting in so effortlessly. But she was still thinking about everything that she felt on the train to Canby. Those feelings were still there and there were so many moments when she wanted to hold his hand or just lean over and kiss him. But it wouldn't be that easy, she didn't think it would be appropriate or when it would be even.

She couldn't spare another thought on it though, lunch was done; grilled cheese was easy. So now she would resume all typical activity and behavior until or unless, their relationship should come up.

She came back into the living room and sat their plates on the table. "All done. Hopefully it's good." She signed before flopping down onto the couch beside him.

Emerson gave a gracious (though very exhausted) smile.

"Thanks, it looks great. Didn't spit in it, did you?" He added with a tease.

"A little, that's how you know it was made with love." Grey smiled before grabbing her sandwich.
