	During one such break- namely late Wednesday night- Owen comes out to the pitch to check up everyone. Soon enough, he finds Lorna and hands her a fresh bottle of water and a towel, and then leans in to kiss her. "How's it going, love? I'm exhausted just watching you all."

	Lorna returns the kiss and thanks Owen for the water (and the patience). "It's going," she said with a laugh but she is tired. And she leans against Owen because he's warm and she knows she's not going home to sleep tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I know Ellie's planning on keeping you guys 'til about 2 AM tonight, so Jamie's gonna keep the kids overnight at his place," he tells her, looping his arms around her. He cards his fingers through her hair. "I'm planning on spending the night in my office, instead of trying to go home. You're welcome to join me. It'll be like old times, except with actual sleep."

	"We're going to have to plan some big family day to make up for their schedule this week," Lorna said about the kids. She wrapped her arms around Owen's waist, and smiled up as he touched her hair. "It's very very tempting..." she said because it might actually sleep more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I was thinking of bringing them by for dragon day. They haven't been to the reserve for awhile. Rhonna was bemoaning the fact to me the other day that she wasn't sure what a dragon looked like anymore when I hinted at it, and then gave this little half-hearted roar. It was pathetic and... really adorable."

Owen leaned down and kissed her again; they were relatively out of sight of the rest of the team. Charity match aside, he did try to keep this level of affection away from the other players if he could help it. "I'm planning on staying up with the rest of the team anyway, so I'll be around regardless."

	Lorna smiled and chuckled at that description of their daughter and how she was trying to convince her way back to the reserve. "I was thinking that Mum could watch them, so that sounds perfect." She will take all the Owen kisses no matter when or where. But yes, keep it separate from Hell Week. "I'll be seeing you around then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Owen kissed her deeply then; there was nothing tender or sweet in it- this was a wake up call. He pulled away from her, trying not to smirk and failing but not particularly caring. "Get back out there and show 'em what for, Mrs. Dragon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was both very helpful and very frustrating. "That's to get me back for the eye mask and ear plugs, right?" she said when he pulled away. "I'll see you later, Mr. Dragon." And he earned a slap on the arse. (Reply to this) (Parent)
