well i thought to myself, where is Boris’s note and the i realized that the entire book is Boris’s note so i am going to stare at my ceiling for a little while
Before they even start courting, Christopher’s the one that helps Grace with the confidence to change her surname back to Cartwright
Likewise, he helps her research her family and honor their memory. She was very young when she lost them, so I don’t think she remembers them.
It takes Christopher SO long to ask if he can court her. I think James would have to pull him aside and specifically tell him to do it, because Kit doesn’t want to make things weird with the merry thieves.
Once they do start courting, they’re inseparable. Practically joined at the hip. Especially in the lab,
Anna absolutely gives Grace the shovel talk, and Grace just starts laughing and tells her that she has no plans for a future without him at her side.
At some point, Christopher and Grace corner Matthew and they all have a lengthy and healthy conversation about their past. Matthew and Grace learn that they’re not as different as they initially thought.
People of course tend to hurl insults at Grace, and Christopher is the first one to defend her honor. She’s learned to not care what others think of her, but if someone so much as LOOKS at her the wrong way, they’re on his hit list lol
One day, they’re in the lab, and Christopher just goes “what if we got married?” And they have a really long conversation about it and they decide “fuck it why not.” That night, Grace goes back to the Bridgestocks with the Lightwood family ring and a massive smile on her face.
