[Dated March 31st, 2012]
She wanted this to go smoothly. She wanted this to go smoothly so badly, it was almost making her nauseous as she finished setting the table and setting out the last of the food. Some of it she'd made, some of it she'd bribed members of the kitchen crew to make for her, but all of it was hopefully something someone would like. And hopefully none of it would end up on someone's face.
Because she really didn't know.
She'd never really done anything like this before. Sure, there were family-style dinners at the mansion and with her grandparents while she was with them, but nothing like that existed here. She had no idea how this group of people that meant so much to her would get along with each other. She knew they'd all try, for her sake, and bless them for it, but she had a habit of making friends and family out of very opinionated and stubborn people and once the wine and beers were opened, who knew what would happen.
So she just said a prayer and hoped for the best as she got up to fiddle with her hair again.

It was odd, being around so many people close to her. Normally, he was automatically the closest person in the room to Rachel but with everyone here it was hard to say.

God, her family was weird.

He had been entirely celibate since arriving on this island, and while he had met a few people who had tempted him to change that, he moved too slow and the Island moved too fast. All but one of the people who'd caught his eye were long gone into the ether.
