She might be a hot mess now. But for @CharmingsGrace I will chase her to the ends of the earth.

My average Barbie doll, now sleeping with a smelly biker. She might hqve fleas. Or head lice.

To my life sized Malibu Barbie doll @LadySpeitata not that she's plastic. She's fucking gorgeous. And all mine.

@LadySpeitata papz."

Whatever answer came next, she wouldn't be facing it alone.

His eyes briefly met Helen's before returning to Ali.

Family celebrations, he had learned, were rarely just about celebrating.

@LadySpeitata chance to press him any further, a cousin swept into the conversation, asking about universities.

Patrick listened proudly as Stanford was mentioned, unable to hide the admiration in his expression.

"She won't tell you herself," he said with an easy smile, "but she +)

@LadySpeitata another crisis unfolded.

Without drawing attention to it, Patrick rested his hand against the small of Ali's back, his touch steady and reassuring.

"You know what pop divas are like. Maybe she broke up with her rapper boyfriend Eminem and is in hiding from the +)

[♱𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒓 {Fake} @IniquitousBuio]

@LadySpeitata absolutely nothing.

"Trying to remember everyone's name. Wondering whether your grandmother is secretly running a fertility cult..." He leaned in just enough for only her to hear.

"...and thinking how incredibly beautiful you look tonight."

Before she had the +)

@LadySpeitata off their Cristal before disappearing into the sea of guests.

Then came the question.

"What's going on in that head of yours?"

Patrick's thumb absentmindedly traced the stem of his champagne flute. "Oh, the usual." He offered the kind of smile that revealed everything and +)

[♱𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒓 {Fake} @IniquitousBuio]

@LadySpeitata not overwhelmed yet, are you?"

"Overwhelmed?" He looked around at the ever-growing crowd. "Your family is only slightly larger than some small European nations."

His smile softened. "But no. I'm enjoying watching you be... you."

Another server appeared, expertly topping +)

[♱𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒓 {Fake} @IniquitousBuio]

@LadySpeitata earned another quiet chuckle from him.

"No," he agreed. "Let's stick with modern medicine... and perhaps a little less geology."

As she wandered back over to him, he instinctively slipped an arm around her waist, smiling when she pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek.

"You're +)

[♱𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒓 {Fake} @IniquitousBuio]

@LadySpeitata fertility involved marble-kissing." His blue eyes sparkled with amusement.

"Although..." he added with a teasing glance toward Ali, "if your grandmother insists it's scientifically proven, perhaps I should at least hear her out."

Ali's immediate dismissal of "Greek voodoo" +)

[♱𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒓 {Fake} @IniquitousBuio]

@LadySpeitata marbles I placed under her pillow—then you'll have plenty of Greek babies."

Patrick nearly inhaled his champagne. He cleared his throat behind his glass, disguising a laugh before lowering it again.

"I've negotiated billion-dollar contracts," he mused, "but I wasn't aware +)

@LadySpeitata was—fiercely loyal, endlessly compassionate, and always putting family first, even when they drove her to the brink of insanity.

His lips curled into a smile as he overheard Yiayiá's latest attempt at encouraging great-grandchildren.

"Drink the wine... and kiss the +)

[♱𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒓 {Fake} @IniquitousBuio]

@LadySpeitata Patrick stood comfortably at Ali's side, champagne flute in hand, content to observe the whirlwind that was the Kalligaris family. They were loud, affectionate, and never seemed to have just one conversation at a time. It reminded him of why Ali had grown into the woman she +)

@CharmingsGrace from his eyes. "We're going to have a conversation. "And this time..."

His smile reached his eyes, he was having a great time. "...you're going to listen."

@CharmingsGrace through that door."

He leaned forward, resting both palms on the table between them.
