The door clicked, breakng the tension for only a moment. As Authur came into the room both of the older women tensed. Kip could smell his secetary on him, could feel the pulse in his blood and knew his face from a recent file- a soon to be target...this was now a dangerous situation for her. And Jean because she denied what was going on, and didnt want him to embarrass her in front of the guests she so far rather liked.

Gwyn stood, "You must be Arthur Douglas." He extended a hand, "Ive heard a lot about you."

"All good I hope?" He asked, clearly not having a clue what was going on. "And you are doing what in my home?"

His eyes scanned around the room. They stopped on Kip, and he was clearly not thinking about his son and soon to be daughter in law- then he wet his lips and the gaze passed over. "Jean, whats going on?"
"I did tell you." She murmured quietly.
"Kitchen." He told her.
Kips fists curled as she reeled in the desire...shed promised Maggie they all had, they all said they'd be good. The couple left the room and now Abbie was talking, not as bitter or bitchy as before. "Just ignore them, they often get like that, its just the way they work. My fathers very stressed, its his job, and well, he doesnt always remmeber things-"
"You dont have to excuse them." Pol told her calmly.

Maggie decided to let the Douglas siblings argue, "Mom-" She warned softly and shook her head. "Please, just drop it, kay?"

Kip closed her eyes, counting quietly to herself, then when she opened them the girl next door look was back and she mouthed an apology to her daughter, with a brief smile.

Maggie stirred the ice around the drink with her finger. "So-" She gave an uneasy smile, looking between Tex and the kitchen.
