"Hi, we are going to order Chinese food to celebrate the opening of the new home. Lucy, could you ask if Ashley and her children would like to join us?""Hang on." The phone was muffled as Lucy asked. Tina heard the squeals of Madison and Savannah and knew Ashley would likely say yes.Lucy came back on the phone with a smile in her voice. "Yeah, that's an affirmative. When?"Tina looked to Trish and Rain. "Dinner in about an hour?" They nodded. She returned her attention back to the phone."Dinner will be in an hour but you may come over any time," Tina told Lucy."See you soon!" Lucy replied and hung up.Karen came back down the stairs looking a little embarrassed. "Daniel and Miriam are on their way over," she said to the group then she looked at her sister. "We forgot we have our double date tonight!"Penny's face froze as she remembered. "I- I'm not in the mood to go out.""Invite your boyfriends here! There's going to be plenty of food and fun things to do." Trish said with a gri

Ben yawned and stretched as he left the immigration office in LAX with Gretchen. It had taken four and a half long hours to deal with the bureaucracy and he'd filled out countless forms with her assistance. It would have taken longer but the staff recognized him and for the cost of a few... dozen selfies with the excited office workers he was 'expedited'. He wondered how long he would have still been in there otherwise. He was dismayed to learn that after all of that effort they'd only earned a six month window. He would see if Hannah could do some magic at her end.The flight from Sydney to Los Angeles had been uneventful as the presence of Gretchen kept the flight attendants at bay. Their detour through immigration had caused them to miss their connecting flight.Ben got tickets on the next flight home for them and they dozed in the chairs by the gate. The flight finally boarded and they promptly fell asleep in their seats and only woke when they landed. It was the wee hours of the

"Yes, Tina filled me in on that. I hope you are able to take this bottom feeder down a notch or two," Ben replied."Tricky to do but I'm trying," Walter agreed."I have some more contract work that needs finalizing and it seems I'm going to need to pay for expediting these. The demand for the device I designed may be larger than I expected," he explained.Walter chuckled. "Did you invent the proverbial 'better mousetrap'?"Ben smiled. "No, just a better filter for radioactive particles."Walter choked a little. "Geezus..." There was a pause as Walter's mind spun at the possibilities. "The military are going to be all over this.""Yeah, hence the rush. I think the marketing team I picked has already let that cat out of the bag," Ben said with a wince."Send me the drafts. I'll get right on it!" Walter said excitedly."I also have a manufacturing contract for Sturn Manufacturing," Ben remarked."Send it through. I'll get both sent off by expedited courier today. I take it Jerry will han

"And Margaux turned on him because he couldn't stop himself from helping a woman in need," Gabriella said with pain in her voice.There was a moment of silence as everyone heard Gabriella's need to be with him."We have some news," Chanel blurted and Catherine looked at her in surprise. Chanel blushed."Is it good news?" Gabriella asked."Yes... Chanel and I are getting married," Catherine said, her cheeks burning.There was a burst of happy congratulations from the group and hugs were shared."Gabriella, I- I was going to call you tomorrow morning to ask if it would be possible for you to fly back to join us for the wedding," Cat asked once the noise settled down."When is it?" Gabriella asked."We were hoping to have it November seventh. That's not this Saturday but the following one. Everyone is invited," Cat said."Definitely I'll be there. I booked a flight home on the sixth and I'll be there the following week as Ben's case is on that Monday. I'm going to be there!" Gabriella in

Ben blinked at her. "Do I?" He hadn't realized he was doing that."I was just wondering. I like it," she said looking up at him from under her bangs with a sweet little smile. Ben felt an almost tangible tug towards her and grinned self-consciously as he moved to get some clothes."The bathroom is all yours," he said over his shoulder.The bathroom door closed behind him and he pulled on a shirt, socks, and slacks. He left the bedroom and made his way to the kitchen.Tina and Lucy were nowhere in sight so he busied himself making breakfast for everyone."Ben?"He looked over to the doorway and Tina was dressed and had her coat on. His eyebrows went up."Could you drive me to the drug store? I need to pick up something for Lucy?" she asked.He immediately turned off the burner and moved the ingredients he was working with back into the fridge. "Is she sick?""She will be fine but her stomach is queasy and we do not have any Gravol. I would like to get her some," Tina explained."Oh! Su
