"I was thinking they can be a bit stiff, but they're there for us, and they do care."

"And... you know, the parties are good."

"Yup. Fun stuff"

"I mean.... it's not, like, the party of the century or anything but... I have fun."

"yeah. "

"hey, Piper is in your yard talking to your dad"

And the smell of ribs

"...No, I still enjoy the SMELL, I'm not a heathen." She laughs, grinning at Mr. Thomas. "But I'm good with sides, honest."

Adam looks up sharply. "Yeah?"

He parks and heads up with Zane.

"Hey, Mr. Thomas. Hey, Piper"

"heydad Hi Piper!" he heads for her.

"Hey Z! Heeeeey Babe!" Her greeting for Adam much more enthusiastic, as she clips over to greet him.

Right there in the yard, they Kiss.

She kisses him back with enthusiasm, picking up on his glamour and leaning in.

"You're tingly. It's sexy." She grins up at him.

He whispers to her.

Kyle doesn't protest

or seem to notice

Brenda in the kitchen window actually smles

Her eyes widen, and her grin widens... "Brenda said dinner wouldn't be ready for at LEAST 20 minutes..."

He nods, grinning, and takes her hand to tug her inside......

A beam and she races with him up the stairs!

Zane sighs, then looks at Kyle "Got any Nieces my age?"

Mr. Thomas looks at him, "Sure do. Great personality, and her father's a marine."

"Of..course he is" Zane mutters then says "How can I help with the food?"

And well... mean while, Adam cooks upstairs
