She had led something of a charmed life, though she probably wouldn’t have agreed with that assessment. In essence, she had never wanted for anything. Her father, Senator Joseph Tydings, made sure of that much. Her mother had been a gorgeous woman; second generation American, her family was from England, Wales specifically, with strong ties to the royal family. So, the Senator knew what he was doing when he married Margaret Hastings. What he didn’t know, was that Marge would die 5 years later while giving birth to their only daughter.<br/><br/>Grace had the best governesses, went to the best schools, and had the very best of everything. When she decided to take up horseback riding, her father got her the best horse and trainer money could buy. When she decided she wanted to be a concert pianist, he made sure she had a Steinway to practice upon. When she decided she wanted to be an artist, he got her the best of the best of whatever she wanted. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for his little girl.<br/><br/>While home for the summer from boarding school, 16 year old Grace got swept up in the “Make Love, Not War” movement. Much to her father’s chagrin, she was photographed topless at one “love-in” and nearly arrested at a series of anti-war rallies. Protesting became her passion for a time, and the Senator knew just how passionate his daughter was. He kept her at boarding school year ‘round after that, but still heard tales of her exploits from the headmistress. Donating enough to buy the school a new library to keep things quiet, he finally sat his daughter down for a talk after she (barely) graduated.<br/><br/>He desperately tried to talk some sense into her, convincing her that her mother would have wanted more for her than this seedy record of indiscretions. Reminding her that she would be 18 in a few months, he swore he would not bail her out should she get in trouble then. Grace took him seriously, swearing to attend college (though she hadn’t really bothered to apply yet) and insisting she would do her best to make her mother proud. Pulling a few strings, he got her into a quiet college in upstate NY & crossed his fingers, hoping she would do as she said.<br/><br/>For the most part, she did do just that. She attended classes, got good grades, and kept her name (and face) out of the news. Sure, she still attended a few rallies, but she made sure to stay in the background and never be noticed. Well, as much as a girl like Grace could go unnoticed. As her third year drew to a close, she was at their summer home in Maryland attending Daddy’s annual fete when she met James Humphries. Her father practically threw them together, actually, but she liked James. He made her laugh, and he was very smart. Two things she appreciated in a man greatly.<br/><br/>Grace saw Jim at the house quite a few more times over the summer. Daddy always seemed to invite him to dinner on nights he had to “work late at the office.” Knowing when she was set up, she didn’t appreciate the manipulation of her father. But, at the same time, she enjoyed James’ company so much that she didn’t really mind the contrivances of her father. Of course, Grace was never one to take any relationship seriously. She knew it hurt James whenever she’d break up with him, but at least she broke up with him before sleeping with Billy, or Joe, or Harry. She didn’t want to cheat on him, but she always seemed to want more.<br/><br/>But then, there was the night at her exhibition. It was her very first showing at a real gallery, and she was so very excited. It was almost Christmas, and she felt as though she was getting the best present ever that year. Grace was so touched when Jim showed up and stayed to talk with her afterward. As he reached out and moved her hand, something just…clicked. She knew right then and there that this was the man for her. She wanted no other. Oh sure, she would flirt. She couldn’t really help herself in that regard. But, Jim was the one she knew she’d spend the rest of her life with.<br/><br/>She stuck by him all through Law school, and was so very happy when he got the State Department job. She was proud of him, for she knew how hard he had worked to get where he was. And when he proposed, with Daddy’s permission, she readily accepted. Four years earlier, Grace never would have thought she’d be getting married. They were married that September at Daddy’s beach house. It was the same house where they had first met each other. And it became their very own house, a gift from her father, upon their wedding.<br/><br/>Grace knew Daddy was happy as a clam, for with James, she had truly transformed from the wild child, to the loving wife. Of course, Grace still had her wild moments from time to time. Get enough wine in her, and she was likely to start dancing and stripping off her clothing. She was always aggressive with Jim in public, rubbing his crotch, or pressing her bottom into him, laughing whenever he’d blush and push her away. Or telling all their friends about the last time she convinced Jim to do something exceptionally naughty with her. She loved to tease him, but it was really just one of the many ways she expressed her intense love for him.<br/>
