Congratulations Grace (again)!

My friend, Grace O’Connell (recently short-listed for the Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers) is runner-up in the EYE WEEKLY Short Story Contest for her story, “Annie, You Foolish Girl, I Love You”.
Last night, she took part in the “This Is Not a Reading Series.” In her words:
they did a dramatic reading of each of our stories last night and then asked us some questions on stage
i was extremely funny
In EYE WEEKLY’s words:
Grace O’Connell, 23, is another inveterate contest winner, taking the grand prize in This Magazine’s Great Canadian Literary Hunt along with finalist status in the BC Bronwen Wallace Prize for Emerging Writers. It’s a favourable turn of events for someone who recently graduated from the publishing program at Humber College, imagining herself as part of the book business more than a professional writer.
Annie, You Foolish Girl, I Love You
“Why do you think you can just come here like this?” she said.
“You invited me.”
She nodded, a convulsion that started jerky and smoothed itself into a rocking motion.
“If you keep saying no, eventually I’ll stop asking.”
“I didn’t say anything,” I said.
I said I loved her, but not out loud. The breath was frozen in my throat.
