He keeps an eye on Callidora, and checks in with her later.

Callidora clearly missed crowds!

"Having fun, Dearest?"

"Oh,well, yes..." CC says and moves tto him "You werre wonderful company mind you, even as a naked mole rat"

"Thank you." modestly "You are radiant, in any form."

"I still need to lose weight" She observes.

"Mom... you look fine" Caesarr huffs

"Dearest...." and then more quietly "I enjoy seeing you as healthy as you are. But you must be happy with how you are."

"Well," She mmms "I suppose I am fussing too much. I'll try not to obsess... and, hey, struting on stage burns calories"

"You strut enough to engulf Rome." he promises.

"They important thing is I have my man, my family, and my passion ...and a place to be with them all" CC slips into EBG's arms

He sways with her, dancing (a little).

and she dances back

Surrounded by friends and family, and outside the room the glory of performance and applause.....

both of them get gifts. CC more than him, but the Cuban cigars are geniune

"From Actual Cuba" Earl says

"Thank you, my boy." he smells and rolls them "Oh, very nice."

"If you don't smoke ever" Earl adds "Then feel free to trrade them or regift"

"I do tend to avoid that sort of vice, but it is so thoughtful of you, Earl. Thank you." sincerely.

"You're welcome. Good tto have you both back" Earl smiles

"Oh, mom, want to catch up on baby pictures?" Caesarr asks

"DO I?" CC is caughtt

Her William smiles, watching.

And she's happily cooing while sipping a martini, like the Dreaming intended

Rocco says "Hope you don't mind he surprise, boss"
