Leo had actually been into the office on a Sunday, not unheard of but not a regular occurrence, because Carnahan had called him to say that some papers from Pangolin had been misdirected to his office and that he had, shamefully, forgotten to mention it. He had offered Leo Sunday evening dinner in recompense and Leo had accepted cheerfully, then had put the phone down and cursed and got down there sharpish. Now he was back, envelope in pocket, considering options and ready for tea - possibly iced because it was a warm day.

Vincenzo greeted Lawyer Beck on his way through the lobby then settled back in his seat and eased his collar. It was hot. He might have to fetch the one of the fans from the security suite. They didn't need ALL of them in there.

Ruth had finished her laundry and paused to look in the mail room. She felt - restless - and couldn't work out why.

On impulse she spoke to the young man at the security desk and he smiled and agreed to keep her small package of laundry, neatly folded inside a pillow case, in his cupboard until she came back for it, and she hitched her purse under her arm and went for a walk. Maybe to the park - or the Square.

Though she would probably end up at the museum.

The lack of the pool house was being felt quite keenly by some of the residents so Charlie had obtained an extra large and extra tough paddling pool and obtained permission to put it on a sunny patch of ground not far from the gazebo. Overnight he and Nick and Phil had put it up and filled it and now the sun was busy warming it.

He sat on the grass laughing as Nia, in a very frilly swimsuit, dipped her hands in and squealed and ran about shaking them and going "brrrrrrrrrrr". The way the temperature was rising it would soon be milk warm and he might even have a paddle himself.

Charlie looked down at his chest with a smirk then across at Deacon's bare-chest and was about to answer when Nia spotted Deacon and squealed his name and came splashing to the edge of the paddling pool.

"Splash you," she offered. "Splash splish." She flicked wet fingers at them and giggled like a monkey.

Charlie chuckled. "We are going to get wet," he said. "You watch. She'll make an excuse to climb out and be cuddled in a minute."

	"I don't mind," Deacon said with a grin. "G'on, baby, splash me all ya want." So Nia did and Deacon chuckled and shivered a bit at the chill of the water then leaned over and snuck a kiss from Charlie. "I brought beer," he said nodding at the cooler. "And juice for missy."

"Oh good man," Charlie said after he'd licked the kiss from his lips. he tirned onto all fours and crawled a pace or two to investigate the cooler and so Nia's next splash caught him right across the back.

"Gah," he said and gooseflesh prickled all over his arms. "You two are as bad as each other. Now I need warming up." He crawled another pace and snuck his own kiss.

	Deacon gave Charlie a nice long kiss that would definitely warm things up a bit and then gasped as he was suddenly pounced by a wet and chilly Nia demanding kisses of her own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charlie sat back on his heels and watched his two favourite people tussle as he opened beers and stuck a straw in a carton of juice. "Thirsty," he said when they broke apart to take a breath, and he offered them both their drinks. "Mm, firsty, plizz," Nia said bouncing on Deacon's lap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Deacon winced as a little heel caught him in the groin and took his beer. "Thanks," he said, voice a bit strained and shifted Nia so she wouldn't catch him again then took a long swallow of his drink with a happy sigh. There wasn't much better on a hot day then family and an ice cold beer. (Reply to this) (Parent)
