Nope, I’ve got this. You just make sure everything else is ready. Jason has vanished her from the kitchen since the morning, but now he began setting glasses on a large tray before picking it up and carrying it into the living room. On it was two glasses of whiskey, two glasses of port for his parents, a pineapple / mango / coconut drink for Hannah and a beer for himself. But it was what the drinks surrounded that was truly impressive.

Everything was ready. Hannah had nervously checked and arranged the living room multiple times in the last day. However, she did it again - fluffing pillows, folding already folded blankets, fidling with the shading on the large windows. She turned when when Jason came over with the tray.

A charcuterie board with all different meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and breads was laid out in such a way as to look like the three planets of the couples that were there. Jason looked at Hannah and grinned. What do you think? Too much? and he laughed.

She grinned looking at the intricate board. Maybe, but you wouldn’t be you otherwise. When Jason did something, he put 200% into it. Hannah adored that about him. The effort he put into the over the top design eased some of her excited nervousness. It’s a shame to eat it.

The door chimed and Hannah went to answer it. Lyla and Tahoma stood in the door way. Hannah smiled and let them in before hugging them both tightly. A lot of back and forth signing went on. Hannah led them over to the living area and handed them their drinks.

Tahoma walked over to the large floor to ceiling windows and looked out. He turned to look at Jason. Has she tried repelling off the balcony yet?

Dad! Hannah signed sharply knowing where the question was headed.

Lyla smirked and sipped her drink. Hannah was saved by the door again. She made her way to the door, Behave, Dad.

Heather and Michael were right in time. She got another hug from Michael and a polite smile from Heather. As they entered the living area Lyla was signing with Jason, complementing their home.

“Mom, Dad, these are Jasin’s parents.” Her voice sounded in the room. “Heather and Michael Riley. Heather, Michael, these are my parents Lyla and Tahoma.”

Her parents set down their drinks and came over to greet them. There was all the normal awkward chit chat until her father finally got back on track. “I eas just asking Jason if Hannah had tried to repel down the side of the building yet.”

Hannah shook her head and picked up her drink. She supposed she couldn’t blame her dad. It was the first time he had the chance to tell embarrassing stories about her.

“Watch out for that. She has no sense of danger. When she was five she decided she wanted to follow me on one of my patrols. Well, I had already left. What you need to know is our complex on Catawba is a floating city.” He paused to take a sip of his drunk, eyes dancing at his daughter. “She took some spare climbing gear and went out an access hatch. Thr problem was the rope wasn’t nearly long enough. We found her dangling 60 meters from the hatch. Secure in her harness and just hanging out.”

Lyla shook her head, “Took 20 years off my life.” Tahoma grunted, “Then there was…”

“Dad we’re going to be late.” Hannah interupted, “Jason made dinner reservations for us. Stories have to wait.”
