(https://images.hugoboss.com/is/image/boss/hbeu50297076_001_10?$re_fullPageZoom$&wid=1500&hei=2275)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Hotel Ballroom<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Juliet, Tanner, Evion, Open<br/><hr/><br/>Richard was about to say something he would have regretted when Juliet stepped in. He took an extra deep breath and exhaled. "I'm sorry Tanner. I didn't know that you had gotten divorced. I was simply trying to make a laugh of it. But please accept my apologies. "<br/><br/>He had known that Tanner had gotten married from Facebook, but not of the divorce. It must have happened within the last year and a half he presumed, with how his own life had been turned upside down he had really lost lot of contact with people on Facebook and such.<br/><br/>He turned back to Juliet and with a lowered voice he said, "Thank you for keeping calm there." He sighed and returned to their conversation.  At her mentioning him being a helicopter parent he laughed, "Heavens forbid that. With those two I'd have to be flying a spaceship and sailing a submarine at the same time. Do you have any idea what kind of havoc two two-year old kids can wreck?"  His smile widened, "I'm surprised every night when I go to bed that the house is still standing and I haven't had a nervous breakdown."<br/><br/>When she told him about her work with the party and her lack of plans for the future he frowned, "I'm quite sure you'll find something to occupy your mind. If nothing else you could start making this for a living. I know a lot of people hire event planners to make something like this happen. And you've done it in your spare time. That is amazing." He told her with an encouraging smile.<br/><br/>"How I've been?" Richard became silent for several long seconds. Now that was a fair question all things considered. But it was something he often pushed in the background. "Well. I'd like if I told you that the last year and a half had been easy. But I think we've managed to come out on top of it all. There are of course days when I don't know how I'll manage, but the kids keep me going." He sighed a little and put his empty glass on a table. Then with a smile he added, "I've actually got a new position at Westwood when the school starts after the summer break. So I'm in the process of looking for a place locally. It will also be a great relief to have all of the twins' grandparents close by."
