“So” Abel grinned, having opened the door to Yuri before swivelling back around to lead him to the kitchen, trusting he’d close the front door after him. “I bought all the ingredients” he said, waving to the counter which was stocked full of everything they might need. “The girl in the shop picked the best out for me” he smiled then, and he’d definitely been conned into buying the most expensive brands and she’d definitely got a bonus for it, but he didn’t mind, the cupcakes had to be better this time, they had to be edible at least.

“So, no winging it this time, I’ve got a recipe, and we’re sticking to it, yeah?”

Usually, Dale wasn’t a fan of these kinds of parties. Usually, he’d skip out on them when he had the option, but tonight, it was his company throwing the party, which meant there was no way he was skipping out, but tonight, he was happy to be here, because people were here to celebrate him, well Winter Corporations, but that was mostly him these days, and the attention was nice.

“You’re not old enough to drink” he said, but handed over a glass of champagne anyway, letting her decide whether she wanted it or not, because really, he couldn’t care less if she drank or not.

Here he was. Back in twelve. For the first time in over twenty five years. He felt a bit sick, and really, Luca avoided doing things that made him so anxious he felt sick, because he was a grown adult with enough money that left him free to make his own decisions. But Hestia had invited him, and he couldn’t say no to Hestia now, could he? In a way he wanted to visit, so he could tick it off his imaginary to do list and be done with it, but now that he was here, standing outside the door of the address she’d sent him, he felt like maybe he should just turn back around so he could hide away in his studio for a few days. 

He’d already knocked on the door though, so it was too late, and once it swung opened, and Hestia’s lovely face appeared behind, he found himself breathing a sigh of relief. “I uh-- I brought muffins?” he said then, holding up the box, they were from the bakery just opposite the tower, because he hadn’t wanted to show up empty handed, and everyone liked muffins, right? Colette had suggested it actually.

It was hard to juggle a baby, and suitcase, and a baby bag, and knock on a door, so Abel used his foot to bang against the door, hoping that he’d gotten the address right because if anybody other than Everett opened up the door, he’d probably invite himself in anyway, just to set down the bags and give his arms a little rest.

“Everett?” He called through the door, voice a little strained. “I’m gonna need you to hurry up and answer the door before I drop everything, including my child”

Dale opened his office door, and a lanky blonde snuck out, giggling as she tripped over her feet, and he rolled his eyes as he fixed his collar, clearing his throat to get Rory’s attention even though he knew she’d been watching out of the corner of her eye anyway.

“What’s on my schedule for the rest of the day?” He asked her after he’d made his way over to her desk, leaning on the solid oak. “Anything important?”

Abel handed Emme over a biscuit while she sat in her pram, grinning because the park was her new favourite place, even if she spent most of her time just watching other people, too little to actually play. He’d give her a turn on the swings in a bit, when they were free, but right now she seemed happy enough as she was.

“How’s my house?” He asked Poppy then, turning a small bit on the bench until so he was facing her. “I hope you didn’t throw any crazy parties, I have my reputation to worry about” he smirked.

Luca set up these nights every now and again, when he found himself running out of space in his studio and he needed to get rid of some of his work. He didn’t like parting with it, which was odd, because most people assumed he only painted with the intention of selling, but that wasn’t the case. He only started selling when his parent’s friends offered to buy a piece hanging in their hallway. And now, it’s when he literally has no more room.

He was walking around, doing his best to keep to himself, because although the walls were spread with his work, he didn’t do well with all the attention. He rounded the corner and spotted Prudence, who he’d talked with at the last ball, and she was stood in front of a piece he was particularly fond of, one he wasn’t even sure if he really wanted to sell at all. “It’s uh-- well it’s hard to describe actually” he laughed then, shaking his head.

Abel had just drained the end of his glass of whiskey and slid it across the bar, nodding to the bar man for another when he turned to smile at the person next to him, realising he’d recognised her from the tower. “Grace, right?” He confirmed, because he hadn’t had a proper chance to talk to her before, only knew her face really, but it was nice, to see a familiar face. Most people had left the Capitol once the ball ended, and he’d been a bit lonely, if he was completely honest, hated dropping Emme off with Rhi because then he’d have to fill his time with something other then changing nappies and cleaning bottles, and even though he didn’t particular enjoy those tasks, it kept him busy, kept him out of the bar.
