"You know, I am starting worry about Nick," Connor told his fiancée one evening. "His relationship with Miss Lewis is extremely weird, and it remains weird as well."
"Mmm," the latter nodded absent-mindedly, as she put finishing touches on herself in the mirror. "But, well, they make a weird couple, what with different ways of living and all."
"And that's my point exactly!" Connor said, triumphantly. "Plus I think that he become a technophile all of a sudden!"
"Well, not everyone understands the advantages of riding a fast, big bird, plus their beaks and talons are quite intimidating and with all heavy equipment that you need to lug around by car, it was only a matter of time until someone became fond of these machines."
"I guess you're right," Connor leaned downwards and gave his fiancée a kiss on the cheek. "Now it's off to the theatre – the show is waiting!"
"And that's what I love about you," Caroline - soon-to-be-Temple – Steele smiled back at her man. "You're just so outrageously great!"
"That's right!" Connor grinned, cheerfully. "Let's go."
"Not so fast!" Connor's elder sister (well, half-sister, when they had a fight and it would get technical) got into the room and shot a couple of pics. "There, now you can go."
"Christy!" Connor groaned. "Sis! We will be back!"
"Yeah, at the twelfth hour and strongly dishevelled," Christine Johnson rolled her eyes. "Now off you go, the two of you – you got an appointment at the theatre!"
...As her half-brother and his girl went downstairs, Christine couldn't help but smile happily, when she half-heard Connor acknowledge her as 'cool'. Honestly, a loving, warm-hearted family – what more could a person want?
