[i]"Don't mind Grumpy, you are welcome to join us. We have plenty of food, and it still plenty fresh as she said. Grab a plate and a seat and we can chat."[/i] Erin's head snapped up her eyes narrowing almost to a slit as she stared at Adam his words annoying more than most as they his her ears, "Did you honestly just call me grumpy... Just remember, I know where you live buster..." She fell silent again listening to what was being said around the table before she let her mind wander her thoughts taking over.

Oscar's not bad with his pigeon over there. Adam has a thing for ice. And me... Well, I'll send you for a nice visit with my dad and his..." She shuddered pulling a disgusted face, "...His cheerful, plant loving wife..."
