Adriana waits anxiously for Justin to pull into the driveway. She starts picking at her cuticles and bouncing her leg. She tries to focus on Annie putting on the finishing touches on the garden salad.

When she hears the doorbell ring she gets up immediately to answer the door. She opens the door and sees Justin holding a bouquet of lilies. He is wearing the same J Crew sweater and jeans he wore to Thanksgiving weeks earlier. 

"Hey there outfit repeater" Adriana teases, "Nice touch with the lilly's" She says and gives him a kiss on the cheek. She steps aside to allow him in. They turn their attention to the sound of heels clicking on the wood floors and see Adriana's mother. 

"Justin, hello, nice to meet you" She says. "I'm Emily" She says shaking his hand. 

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Deluca," He says, he notices that Adriana is the spitting image of her mother. Only without the botox and tummy tuck. "These are for you," He says holding the bouquet of lilies out to her. 

"Oh, Lillies! How I love Lillies.." She begins to go on and on about her passion for lilies. "Harold! Justin's here!" She yells.

Soon enough Harold comes down the stairs wearing a freshly pressed suit. 

"Oh hello Justin," Harold greets

"Hello, it's nice to finally meet you Mr. Deluca" Justin says giving him firm handshake. 

"The same to you Justin," Harold says with a sort of aloofness to him. 

Harold loved Malcolm. Nobody was going to be better for Adriana than Malcolm Hazen in his eyes. Just because Malcolm was a football star and he came from a wealthy family. 

The four make small discussion as Annie finishes their lunch preparations. Their conversation about world issues comes to a sudden hault when they notice a little blue car pull up to the driveway. 

"Prepare for battle kids" Harold jokes and finishes his glass of scotch when he realizes it is his second oldest daughter Jan bringing home his youngest daughter Brit. 

The front door then tops and lets in the deafening screeches of a baby. Jan comes into the house holding it unable to calm it down. 

"Mom! Annie! Someone take this damn thing away from me," Jan says

"Nice to see you Jan," Emily says taking the baby from Jans's hands. As soon as her hands are free Jan pulls out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from her bra. She puts a single cigarette into her mouth and tries to light it. But before she can Harold grabs and stick and snaps it in half. 

"thanks dad" She snaps, rolling her eyes before turning her attention to Adriana and Justin. "And who's this beautiful thing?" She asks pressing her boobs up and leaning over the counter. Before Adriana can introduce them, the door opens again and they all see Brit walk in. She immediately goes upstairs to her room without saying hello to anyone. 

"Let me show you the backyard" Adriana says, taking Justin outside. "I'm sorry. I didn't know Jan was going to be here." Adriana apologizes.

"It's fine. We'll laugh about this in a few years." He says. 

"Your that optimistic about us?" Adriana asks smiling. He blushes. "Well, we have a basketball and tennis courts over there, hot tub, then indoor/outdoor pool." Adriana explains, pointing out all the highlights of the house as they go "And tree swing bench," She says as they walk over to it, she sits on one end and he sits on the other. The two lightly kicked the ground to sway.

"So your mom, Brit and you all look a lot alike." He comments.

"You think so?" she asks. He nodds, "Jan looked like us too a hundred packs of cigarettes ago." Adriana jokes. Justin smiles.
