"Relationships are never easy. You have to really work at them. Even these kinds." Caleb smiled at Peter as Simon and Cynthia appeared in the doorway. Simon kept an eye on Peter. Cynthia had her eyes on Simon. "He's really looking out for you, huh?" he asked, amused, and then headed back over to his Mistress. Only when she acknowledged him did he tell her they had finished. "Peter was a big help."

And that made Simon smile and tilt his head slightly to the left to tell Peter to come over. If he wasn't doing it already.

"Thanks again, Cyn. Pete, Mitch is here getting set up. I want to introduce you."
