Stacey didn't bother trying to reign in her grin at hearing Zacharias' voice, which grew eve more when she actually caught sight of him. Chuckling lightly at the fact that they were both currently holding cats, which totally interfered with her hugging plans, she reached one hand out to scratch under Pippin's chin.
Turning slightly, she laid her head on his shoulder instead of the hug she'd threatened, unwilling to disturb the felines. "I missed you so fucking much," she told him truthfully. "And I am never going anywhere with my parents again until I know for certain that there's a plan. Who the hell buys a one-way plane ticket for a 'vacation'?"
With a small shake of her head to rid herself of all the irritation that came along with thinking about the clusterfuck that had been the trip to Puerto Rico, Stacey glanced up at her best friend's face, smiling again as she asked, "So, what new and exciting things have been happening around here? I'm sure I've missed so much."
