|summary=Grace Ambrose isn't Brigitte Jones, honest; for one thing she doesn't keep a diary. Grace is our typical misogynistic Hollywood stereotype supporting female character. She is the ''secretly hot chick'' who will suddenly take off their glasses, shake out their hair and reveal themselves to have been beautiful all along. We follow Grace and her romantic adventures (and misadventures) over three years of her life at the House of Commons.

But that's not to say it never happened, and that's not to say that he can't feel things for the albatross daughter he's not seen for centuries. It might be the only thing he has to live for…
