"Hey, I'll be with you in a second," smiled Jamal as he tapped a bit on a bike he had up on the rack and then put down the tools and came over to give Imani a hug and kiss, "How has work been today?"

"Very, very slow. But we just keep saying it'll speed up with the new business."

"When do renovations start? When is opening night?"

"Renovations have started-Frank and Neil are painting right now, the couches have been ordered, and I believe Jack is going to buy the wood for the stage later this afternoon. Opening night is the 30th. Caleb gets back in town at the end of the week-we're going to ask him to play. There is one thing that seems to be pulling me and Frank down though."

"What's that?"

"Jack-he's such a grump. I think he just needs some spice in his life, something to make him want to get up in the morning."

"Such as?"

"A girlfriend," she grinned.

"Your secretary said you didn't have another session for an hour so I figured I would come by and see how you were today," said Kevin as he came in to see Cindy writing in a folder.

"I'm doing fine, just finishing up these notes that I made. How are you feeling? Have you realized what it is you think you came all the way here to figure out?"

"Yes, and I know just the thing that's going to help me."

"That's great Kevin-what is it?"

"Marriage."

---------

Delia slipped in the front door quietly, trying to make sure it didn't fall off the hinges like last time. It was sad to see the Manor falling into such disrepair-she hoped that Rafe would come and fix it up one day, and maybe there would be some glory put back in the place again. She was glad that Olivia had found the diary-she didn't even have to plant it anywhere this time. Caleb had been so pigheaded about letting her read it though, sure nobody had been able to read it since Tara, but she had a very strong feeling about Olivia. The way she talked about Alison, how they were friends before Caleb and Rafe came into their lives reminded her very much of Tara and Elena's story.

This time though she knew she would have to plant the book, making sure that Olivia would find it here when they came by before leaving Daia. She took it out and dusted off the cover, her fingers sliding over the words Morley-Kovich before she placed it on a shelf that seemed to be eye level with Olivia.

Jamal just had to laugh, "Yeah, that will definitely get him to wake up in the morning. How do you suggest getting him one?"

"Well, I'm the head waitress right? They are giving me full control on who to hire as I'll have to deal with them the most. So I will only choose the ones that are the closest to his personality."

"When did you become such a match maker?"

"Hey, you weren't complaining that much when Alison was playing match maker with us that day."

"True, very true," he said pulling her in for a kiss.

-------

"Marriage? Does this mean you are going to go back and fight for Lucy?"

"No, I've finally realized that maybe we aren't meant to be together. It's tiring to see her and Ian when it should be me and her, but she's happy. But I want to get married still."

"Well, I hope you think this is the right call Kevin. I mean with the way we've talked before and such I really thought you were ready to go in fighting again. Can I ask who it is you are planning on marrying?"

"You."

--------

"So who is the perfect person for Jack?" asked Imani.

"Oh, I see what this is. You have no clue what my boy wants, and you want me to tell you."

"If you don't want to participate I'll just go see Alison then, I'm sure she'll help me."

"Fine, I'll help you. No on the dependency-she's got to have some independence. Make sure she doesn't seem like one that is going to be pushing him for marriage a week after they have their first date. If she's had a somewhat hard life then that's ok because he can relate to that. Make sure she can actually do her work though--I doubt he would take a second look at a slacking waitress for a girlfriend. Anything else?"

"I guess not, and we already know what his physical likes are."

"Yeah, just make sure she isn't the spitting image of Livvie, please," he said as Imani laughed at him.

--------

Cindy just laughed, "Excuse me? What did you just say?"

"I said I want to marry you Cindy. When you think about it it's pretty simple. We have a lot of the same interests, we've gone into the same field, and we're both single."

"Yes, but we also live in different states, half-way across a continent. I like you Kevin, but not in that way."

"This isn't a marriage of love I'm talking about, it's one of support."

"Support what-you getting over Lucy finally? I'm sorry Kevin, but I'm going to have to say no to that."

---------

"Sorry I wasn't here on time, Master Caleb, I had to pick some stuff up for dinner. You are leaving tomorrow-correct?" said Delia as she walked into the library where Livvie and Caleb were sitting.

"Yes, we've got one stop to make before getting on the plane," he said taking a look at her. She was up to something, but he couldn't tell what it was. Whatever it was it didn't matter though-the trip had gone off without a hitch, and he was happy to be heading back to Port Charles tomorrow.

"It was so wonderful to see you again, I hope you do come back for another visit soon."

"I do too. This trip was definitely not long enough, but I think I needed it. Maybe next time we can somehow get Rafe and Alison to come along," said Livvie as she noticed the look Caleb was giving her. "Or not. Anyways, thank you so much for your hospitality, Delia," she said going over and giving her a big hug.

"It was my pleasure, sweetheart. You are definitely the friendliest Morley wife I've had the pleasure to meet in a long time."
