"You okay?" He looked up at Ariel who spoke and then sat down next to him. "You've been quieter than normal today." She commented and he just stared at her for a second. Probably because the person he should be marrying was sitting next to him and out of reach. That thought took him back a bit, but he knew the truth of it. It was what he really wanted. He just hadn't really admitted it hoping his own mind would change in other directions.
"Just fine, but you already know my thoughts on this." He said and she looked away from him for a second a slight blush.
"Natasha has behaved herself over the past few weeks." Ariel said.
"Has she?" He said with a raised eyebrow.
"She has."
"For two weeks, what a record. I believe it was you who brought her back from Sean's before she made a fool of herself in front of the rest." Ariel gave a shrug.
"She was intoxicated."
"When isn't she intoxicated?" He asked Ariel.
