"There really isn't..." Peter conceded, and Stuart pouted in Abby's arms.
"Hey, I haven't done anything unmanly...yet today." Quinn protested.
"He's right, he hasn't. But yesterday he squealed about a spider and he made me get rid of it, and I think that counts for two days of unmanly."
"You and your rules." Quinn grinned and he leaned in to kiss Quinn.
Peter grinned. "Awww, love. But not awww, spiders. Ew spiders." And he shuddered.
"They're...as okay as they can be. Jubilee is with Bianca, Mary and I most of the time. She asks the most darling questions. A lot. She'll be just fine. And Juliet...she isn't there. She's here. A ghost. I didn't know if you knew."
Anna smiled and she took Mara's other hand. "Want to go back downstairs? You can meet my daddy for real and know he's okay. I promise he'd never hurt anyone." Well. Unless they deserved it.
"O...okay." Mara said, nodded and firming her jaw. She would be brave.
Anna led Mara back down to the livingroom where they went to stand in front of Peter. "It's nice to meet you Mr Kemp." Mara said, turning furiously red. "Uhm...thank you. For coming for Adrian and I."
Peter gave Mara a sweet smile. "You're very welcome, Mara. And I'm very glad to meet you too. I will always come for my friends and family." And he held out his hand, which Mara shook.
