Ted laughed. "I'm afraid the paperwork monsters tried to me eat me again. Sorry I'm late."
He looked around, taking note of who was there and who was not. "So we're both a bit late, but I don't think Jamie will care. Or notice."
He kissed her again, just for the hell of it. "Missed you too. I'd say you should come work for the Clinic, but that 'd be against those pesky fraternization rules. But we've got New Year's plus the weekend. We'll be sick of one other."
Grinning, Ted slung an arm around Victoire's waist. "So, how was work?"
