Considering the people attending this gathering, Theo thought it went rather smashingly, all things considered. Nathan didn't cause any big blow ups, Ferrol's appearance only seemed to cause one really awkward moment, and everyone seemed pretty well at ease.
For the day, he allowed himself to forget the stormclouds on the horizon and simply enjoy himself. Peter was well-behaved, and Theo truly enjoyed spending time with everyone.
But most especially with Pansy. He could, with some limitations of propriety, show affection to the woman who had become increasingly important to him. He loved her; he simply couldn't help it.
The evening was winding down, with Peter being tucked into bed exhausted but happy. And now he was able to take Pansy's hand and lead her to the sitting room right off his set of rooms, to enjoy just a bit more time with her before propriety stated he had to let her go to her room. "I hope you've enjoyed today," he said.
