Fabulous story! Absolutely love it! Welcome back :)  Poor Grace - all she wanted was a drink and to kill some time - then her world was changed forever!  Love all the characters you introduced in this first chapter - with the exception perhaps of Dermot, slimey villain that he is!  But you do have to have a bad guy :)  Interesting Sookie's psychic connection to Grace, even though she doesn't know they are related yet!  Eric cracks me up - always trying to get into Sookie's pants!  What's coming next?
