Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 04:44, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She chuckled. "Sounds like a plan. I just want to make sure it's personalized for you, too."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 04:45, March 29, 2015 (UTC) "Whatever you come up with, Mary, will be perfect for us both. I have no doubt."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 04:47, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled and reached up for a quick kiss. She felt like jumping up and down in excitement like a little kid.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 04:47, March 29, 2015 (UTC)~ He kissed her back. "Any other questions I can just nod and agree with?" he asked with a wink.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 04:49, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She chuckled. "Well, some of the decisions are completely up to you- who were you thinking for a best man?"

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 16:20, March 29, 2015 (UTC) He chuckled. "Okay, you have a point there. I don't have any brothers... so I figured I'd ask the man about to become my brother-in-law. Ferlen."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 16:29, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She grinned, pleased. "And I'll ask your future sister-in-law to be maid of honor."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 16:30, March 29, 2015 (UTC) He nodded. "That was my guess."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 16:32, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She tipped her head, thinking. "I completely understand if you don't want your parents to be there- but I know my parents especially will question that."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 16:33, March 29, 2015 (UTC) He shrugged. "We'll see what happens. I don't know that either of them would be comfortable surrounded by so much magic."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 16:36, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” "So... you're saying that even if we invite them, they might not come?"

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 16:36, March 29, 2015 (UTC) "It's entirely possible."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 16:42, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She nodded slowly, not quite sure how to respond to that. Her own parents might be irksome at times and travel a lot, but she couldn't imagine them not being there for their daughter's wedding, no matter the tension. She simply didn't understand.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 16:43, March 29, 2015 (UTC) "I don't know for certain," he said gently. "But it is a possibility."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 16:49, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” "I'm sorry, I- I just can't imagine your parents not coming if we invited them. I know I only know what you told me about them- but they're still your parents...." She frowned, wondering if she should suggest that visiting them might clear the air.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 16:50, March 29, 2015 (UTC)~ He shrugged. "I'm sure my mother's afraid someone will recognize her for her family, and it'll turn into a scene... and my father has no experience with magic, or with the wizarding population." He could tell this bothered Mary far more than it bothered him, but he wasn't sure what else to say.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 16:54, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She nodded, understanding a bit more- about his mother's potential fears more so than his father's. She figured she just had to accept that she didn't understand, and let it go, acting as Benjamin's support as needed.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 16:56, March 29, 2015 (UTC) He studied her carefully. "I won't force my parents to do anything they don't want to do," he said. "But are you okay with this?"

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:00, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” "I'm okay with however you want to handle it. I truly don't understand it- and I'm not going to pretend that I do. I can only support and help you however I can."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 17:02, March 29, 2015 (UTC) He kissed her lightly on the forehead. "It'll all turn out okay, I promise."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:06, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled softly up at him. "I know, sweetheart."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 17:08, March 29, 2015 (UTC) "Anything else?"

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:11, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She shook her head. "No, I don't think so."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 17:12, March 29, 2015 (UTC) "Hungry for lunch then?" he asked, glancing at the clock.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:17, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled. "Always- but for me it feels more like breakfast."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 17:19, March 29, 2015 (UTC) "What sounds good?" he asked.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 17:20, March 29, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She thought for a moment. "Omelets. With everything you can think of thrown in there."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 17:21, March 29, 2015 (UTC) He nodded. "Alright, sounds good," he said, heading into the kitchen.

More Benry

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:22, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She walked out of Benjamin's room after napping for a few hours. She was still wearing her light blue pajamas, but her hair was pulled back in a ponytail so it didn't look tousled.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:23, April 6, 2015 (UTC)~ He smiled. "Well good... uh, evening?" he glanced at the clock. It was going on five.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:29, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She grinned. "I guess so."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:31, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He moved to her, kissing her on the forehead. "How did you sleep?"

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:32, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” "Okay. I had strange dreams, but not bad ones." She smiled up at him happily.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:35, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He searched her gaze for a moment, before deciding he was satisfied. He gestured to the table where scrambled eggs, toast and bacon were waiting for her, along with a tall glass of orange juice. "I figured you'd be hungry."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:37, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She grinned and gave him a quick hug. "Thank you."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:38, April 6, 2015 (UTC) "Anything for you, Mary," he said with a grin, pulling her chair out for her.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:41, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled at him, touched, and took her seat, beginning to eat eagerly.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:42, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He sat across from her, leafing idly through a newspaper.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:43, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She ate a bit more quickly then usual, and soon finished eating.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:45, April 6, 2015 (UTC) "That was fast. Did you want more...?"

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:48, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She shook her head, standing to take care of the dishes. "That hit the spot. But thank you."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:49, April 6, 2015 (UTC) "I could have done those..." he said as she started with them.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:51, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled at him and flicked her wand; the dishes started washing themselves. "It doesn't require that much effort."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:52, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He smiled, standing and putting his hands on her waist. "I suppose not."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:53, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She wrapped her arms around him with a grin.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:54, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He gave her a gentle kiss. "So what's on your agenda for today?"

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:56, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled. "Nothing- the day's almost over anyway. I don't work tomorrow, so my schedule's pretty open."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 02:57, April 6, 2015 (UTC) "Excellent," he said with a grin. "Anything you want to do?"

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 02:59, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled. "Well, if you're free tomorrow we could start tackling the kitchen... or I could take you ziplining." She looked up at him with a wide grin.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:01, April 6, 2015 (UTC) "There's a situation in the office that needs tending to right now that would prevent me from ziplining, I think. But I could probably do the kitchen."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:03, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She nodded, her grin faltering a bit- wondering if it was the same situation that had been keeping Teresa busy lately- then deciding it probably wasn't, since they weren't in the same department.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:04, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He saw the grin falter. "It's nothing overly serious, Mary," he said. "Just something that needs my attention."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:05, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She nodded. "Okay."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:06, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He searched her eyes for a moment, hoping he wasn't worrying or disappointing her.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:07, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled. "We're not too far into summer yet- we can go ziplining another time."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:09, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He smiled back at her. "Sounds like a plan," he said.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:10, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” "I was just thinking about Teresa," she explained. "She's been busy with some kind of situation too- but I know hers and yours can't be the same. You don't even work in the same department."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:12, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He nodded, thinking there was a chance they were in the same position, but there was a chance she was right. "With all likelihood, yes, they are different."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:15, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She smiled. "Did you have any thoughts for tonight? I'll probably be awake for quite awhile yet."

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:16, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He raised his eyebrows playfully for a moment. "Not unless you do..." he said.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:18, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She chuckled and reached up to give him a kiss. "I love you," she said fervently, her eyes gentle and serious.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:19, April 6, 2015 (UTC) "As I love you," he said, pressing himself in for a longer kiss.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:20, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She closed her eyes as he kissed him long and gently.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:21, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He pulled her in close as he continued to kiss her for several long moments before pulling away, his breathing heavy.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:23, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She rested her head on his chest as she caught her breath, her smile soft and shy.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:24, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He wrapped his arms around her, and he held her for a few moments before scooping her up in his arms, a playful grin on his face.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:27, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She grinned up at him, her eyes sparkling, as she wrapped her arms around him in turn.

Benjamin Flaherty Department of Magical Law Enforcement - Wizengamont -“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”  – 03:28, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He smiled at her, carrying her into his bedroom.

---

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:30, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She woke up slowly, having slept in longer than usual- it was almost 9am. She smiled and reached for Benjamin, her eyes still closed.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 03:33, April 6, 2015 (UTC) He wasn't there, but she'd feel a note left on his pillow.

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:34, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She let out a small sigh of disappointment as she grabbed the note, rubbing her eyes so she could read it.

Game Master Send Me an Owl! - 03:36, April 6, 2015 (UTC) The note read, "I had to go into work this morning. I can still meet you at the house to furnish the kitchen. I don't know the first thing about them... so you go to the furniture store and I want you to buy whatever you want. You feel free to spend as much as you like, and leave the bill at the store for me. This is your kitchen... and it's my gift to you. I'll be home probably sometime this afternoon."

Mary Waters - Apartment Send Me an Owl! - Echostar 03:39, April 6, 2015 (UTC) ~“I miss the person I used to be.” She perked up, and immediately wanted to give Benjamin a tight hug- but it would have to wait. She practically bounced out of bed, got dressed and ready, and headed out for a quick breakfast before going to the furniture store with an excited smile.
