Wayne waited until the children had gone and turned to face Ciara. "It's been a while since we last met." He gestured her to have a seat and snapped his fingers in which an elf popped out of thin air and placed a tray on the center table which contained tea and scones.

"You have a lovely daughter," he commented as he picked up a cup of tea and brought it to his lips. "Does she remember being here when she was younger?" Not that it mattered. It would just be ironic that his son's girlfriend had met him first.

Once the adults turned around Kennedy took Aurora's hand and led her up the stairs. He had no intentions in going to the piano room or greenhouse. This was his only chance of getting away from his father before they left and he wanted to go change out of these awful robes that made him feel all stiff.

"You don't mind if we go to my room, do you?" he asked. Plus, that would provide them some place to talk without being over heard. He knew Beverly was watching them from somewhere right now.
