Giving Olivia a tour of his house had been a nice little break from reality, especially the kiss in his bedroom, but it all came crashing back down when they reached the downstairs and her worried and upset friends. Olivia moved through them, doing her best to calm everyone—and only wincing a little when Angel burst into tears on her shoulder—and reassure them she was okay.

She was fine.

She wasn’t worried.

That last was a lie, but Luke didn’t call her on it and neither did anyone else. For right now she really was all those things. After all, they were here at his place and there was no reason to think the shit-gibbon would do anything while there was a house full of people.

Luke went around getting people drinks and showing them where to set their things. Adam, Angel, Jared, and Leigh were the only ones not staying over—they were going to go back to Adam and Angel’s later in the evening. Although Angel insisted the girls’ night the ladies had planned tomorrow would go on as usual so she wouldn’t be missing out on anything.

He set out the food Maria, Leigh, Justin, and Kate brought and the drinks everyone else had brought and made sure Olivia got a glass of white wine. As quickly as he could, he gathered up the papers on his dining room table to make sure people could sit in there as well. He’d never really considered his house small, but right now it felt like it was full to bursting of very large personalities and quite a few large bodies.

Molly spent the half hour of meeting everyone frantically running around attempting to love on all the people who were happy to love on her right back. She eventually ended up panting with exhaustion, laying across Maria’s lap and snuggling into the curvy beauty while Lexie pouted about not being the ‘chosen one.’ Next to Maria was her boyfriend Rick, who was leaning up against her, arm around her shoulders and whispering in her ear. Both of them were petting Molly, who looked like she was in heaven, pressing her head against Maria’s pretty generous breasts and unsuccessfully trying to turn her head up and lick Maria every couple of minutes, making the woman giggle.

Sitting on the floor between Maria and Patrick’s legs, Lexie was doing her best to get in on the Molly-loving action while Patrick just watched with a kind of resigned amusement as Lexie dropped many broad hints about wanting a dog for Christmas. Jessica and Hilary were cuddled up in one of the armchairs while Leigh and Jared were in the other in much the same manner, all of them adding to Lexie’s list of the joys a dog could bring to a household.
