"What kind of distraction?" She laughed quietly while sipping at the champagne. The peck on the cheek felt good and she turned to give Weird a kiss on his cheek in return.

Then he had her giggling. "Everyone but you? What ever have you been up to?"

Another sip and another kiss on his cheek as she leaned in to his shoulder a little more. Weird might not ever be what she considered traditionally handsome but he was a good man. Honest, sweet, hard working, and those things mattered more. She gently stroked his other shoulder while leaning against him. They had gotten so close in a short time because of the tour. In truth, she hadn't noticed it at first but watching the others find that closeness so quickly had Gloria seeing it more clearly in her own life.
