As they walked she texted Ellie.  Eve looked up from her phone and shook her head at him.  Maybe she was lending him the support he needed right now, but she somehow knew he would do the same when the time came and their roles were reversed.  "You don't need to thank me.  We're in this together, right?  We can do whatever you want at the apartment tonight, cry, watch a movie, gorge ourselves on takeout.  And I'll do whatever I can to help make whatever arrangements need to be made."  She squeezed his hand again, as they rounded the corner to head toward the outside of the building and toward the steps of the building they had modified into a chapel.<br/><br/>It wasn't a true chapel, just an open building that used to be used for recreational activities like table tennis and pool.  Eve had the tables moved to her family's home years ago, so it had been left relatively empty.  As they approached the steps that lead up to it, Ellie came out of seemingly nowhere to join them.<br/><br/>"What's up?  What do you need?  I see you found your boyfriend." Elaine Frost said, regarding her future brother-in-law with a cold demeanor that matched her name.  "You couldn't be bothered to show up on time?"<br/><br/>"Ellie.  No."  Eve said, in the sort of tone only a big sister could use.  "Magister Frost passed last night.  As you can imagine, Casey had a rough night.  We're going to have the ceremony early, and I'd like you to be a witness.  After that, if you could get with mom and handle the guests and making sure everyone still gets to enjoy the reception...I'd owe you a huge favor."<br/><br/>Elaine's eyes went wide and then confusion seemed to settle in.  "You're getting married right now?  Mom is not going to like this, she told me--"  Elaine started but Eve cut her off.<br/><br/>"I have to do what I think is right.  Mom doesn't like any of this, period.  She just wants to salvage what's left of her career so she can retire and be honored.  Are you willing to help or not?"<br/><br/>"I am.  It's kind of my fault you're in this mess."  Elaine said, looking pointedly at Casey.  Eve could only hope those fires would calm in the days to come.
