Erik realized he hadn't acknowledged Slav. He eyed the teen and gave him a small, sad smile. "Hey...sorry I lost my manners there for a minute."
His attention was quickly averted when he received a raunchy steamy kiss from Maddie and a slow sweet kiss from Mary. They both could kiss...and kiss well.
He smiled, a slightly broader smile, but still sad. "I'm real glad we're doing this tonight...I need to be around people. And just to warn you all, I'm gonna be pretty sad until I get a good buzz going. I'm gonna apologize in advance."
Erik look to Maddie and then across the floor to the mixing table. "You know how to work that thing? We need some music!"
