290 art gallery, morning, Charlie OTA/MW
Emma was manning the desk so Charlie was enjoying a quiet morning catching up on correspondence and chatting to people he hadn't chatted to for a while. It was too early to call the Uk so Mum and Tom were further down the list but he had caught Sam in and was hearing the latest in the saga of Parker's stalker! Charlie thought it was taking the secret admirer thing a bit far, and Sam was plainly incensed, but he calmed her down then listened avidly to news of Nia and Rosie and how Sam was taking the local dojo by storm.
"Yeah, I miss you too," he said eventually and sighed. "But we'll see you soon, won't we? You are still coming for Thanksgiving? Oh - oh cool. Right. That's great."
There was a knocked at the door and he called 'Come in' before saying, "What? Oh yeah, you too, sweetie, love to all and a big kiss for the babies. Yeah, Bye."
He put the phone down and grinned at his visitor. "And what can I do for you?"
