Alister listened to the absurd explanations and wondered why no one here had thought to question it.  "Pleasure to meet your Sharon.  I guess it's the season, we are all a little more willing to accept the strange and the weird as reality this time of year and just don't both to stop and question it." He reaches out to take her hand in his and kisses it softly like a gentlemen should.<br/><br/>"Please before we head up stairs I think a toast might be in order. To us!  The brave and absurd souls who have come here for no better reason then an anonymous invitation.  My the evening be everything we hope it is."<br/><br/><br/>
