Re: Dora and ZJ
Zahara gave a musical laugh, which only grew louder when those hazel eyes caught Hyperion's, and he gave her a look for the comments about kidnapping the twins. She flashed him a bright smile, that was clearly trying far too hard for innocent, before her attention had moved back to the woman next to her. There had been a time where if Dora had caught the pair sharing a ridiculous intimate moment like that, she would have likely gone a bit pink in the cheeks. Dora had seen it all though, one of the perks of being their neighbor.
Dinner was not the time for Zahara to explain just where Andrew had come from, she would be sure to fill in Dora soon though. It was a lot, but she wanted him to meet everyone that was in her family, that included Dora now too. "I'm not sure how all of that works, but I think so? I was hoping to ask Quin if I might be able to use her house to have everyone over so that he can meet the whole family." Her family unit now included everyone that was here tonight, all of her closest friends. She knew her cousin wouldn't mind letting them use her home, she just wanted to be sure to ask before she just invited everyone over to Quin's.
It took a moment before it dawned on Zahara that Dora had just given her permission to call the twins her niece and nephew. Her smile warmed, as she leaned just close enough to Dora to be able to whisper a soft thanks.
"You know.. I was wondering if I could ask something of you? Hyperion is worried about my work schedule, and I know I need to really start cutting back." Since they were trying for children, she figured that it couldn't hurt to cut back her hours so that she didn't end up far too stressed out as the holidays arrived. "I was hoping you might be interested in maybe coming by one a week to do the charm work for the candies? We can create a little corner for the babies to play nearby, and I'll do the baking." It would be just the four of them, and a closed candy shop.
