Re: Tony & Pepper
Pepper just let the boys bicker and have their fun. With the kind of party Sam was throwing there was no such thing as "too late". Besides, Happy and Tony enjoyed their back and forth teasing as much as Tony and she enjoyed theirs. She just sighed patiently until someone finally knocked.
"Don't make a scene," she warned Tony for the thousandth time about their engagement. This was Sam's party and she didn't want to take it over. Her arm was linked through his where it was easy to hide the small meteorite on her finger. "I mean it. If you step on Hi, Sam!"
Pepper smiled brightly when their host answered the door. Gratitude was expressed for the compliment then they followed Sam inside. "Wine will be fine, thank you," she said in answer to the question. "Or, champagne." After all they were quietly celebrating.
