A Shadow Of Doubt

David

I dropped Kate off after dropping Shelly off. But I ended up going inside with Kate. The one thing I noticed was that she held her own when her brother bullied Shelly. She told Ethan that he just wanted to argue and came there in a bad mood. I was amazed that she did that, he left in a huff after that and we ate in peace after that. Shelly thanked her, but Kate told her that arguing with Ethan is probably not a good thing. We had a good evening after Shelly and Ethan were finally out of our hair. We spent a few hours talking and we made plans for a real date. After seeing her and her brother together I think I understand a bit about their family dynamics. Ethan has not came to the realization that women aren't here to service men and their needs and to sit on a shelf until they notice them. I am glad Shelly caught onto that fact quickly. Plus she got a heads up from his mother and his sister about him changing women as often as his underwear.
Shelly
Good Lord how does Ethan get women to go out with him, he was such a jerk at dinner. I was so relieved when we headed home. Kate finally had to tell him to shut up or she wouldn't allow him to drive her car home. They brought her car, because his was in the shop for repairs after his car was vandalized by a scorned girlfriend of his. Apparently she took a baseball bat to his car and luckily she wasn't good at swinging the bat or the damage would have been much worse. Four thousand dollars later she is walking free after paying restitution and a restraining order against her in place. She caught him cheating on her. Kate showed pictures of what the girl did to Ethan's car. I wonder if she did anything to the girl's car as well. I told David that there is no need to set me up on dates, especially since I am pregnant.
Kate
I am surprised that David asked me to dinner after what happened at the Mile High Club. Ethan and Shelly argued constantly about every little thing. We really had a lot in common with the exception of the arguing parents and a dad who was unfaithful. They still don't know why their last name is different from Carrick's. I noticed a few things, but I never asked about the age difference between Anastasia and Christian's sons. I was told very little about little Christian and his birth, just that the less we know the better about his arrival and that he is definitely a blood relative. I am under an NDA and can't talk about any member or the family. So I have kept to my agreement. Something tells me opening up that can of worms would kick me out of the family dinners for life. I like those dinners, it was one the calmer days of my life growing up. I can't give them up for any reason. Now David and I are getting closer and we are headed in a good direction.

Enid has told us that Kate is dating David now and they seem happy with one another. I ask if they argue and she says they don't argue in front of her. Ray says it was probably the combination of Elliott and Kate's personalities and strong beliefs.
Carrick
Not sure what I think about Kate and David dating, but it isn't my business, so I am staying out of it. At least they are arguing constantly.
Mia
I have been busy between handling a few things at the restaurant, catering and now delivery of on demand foods. We are about to expand and we need to have a building or land to build on, but I don't want to displace people in lower income housing. Graham has been researching properties for now along with his running his companies. The twins are getting bigger and they are enjoying playing with their cousins. Soon they will be toddling around in their tiny dresses and bows. I dress them alike in photos and events, but when we are with family and friends we dress them in different outfits. Mom told me people with identical twins either dress them identical or they dress them in different outfits. I chose to do both. Graham says our daughters look like both of us and I agree with him.
Graham
I am a very lucky man, I found my dad and my wife and now we have twin daughters. It was like I lost my parents and found my family and have a wonderful life. David and Shelly Conrad were a nice addition to our family as well. David and Shelly own a company that actually supplies to my companies and they are moving into Seattle soon. That will make my life easier and I can build the new satellite distribution and manufacturing here in Seattle and create a lot of new jobs for the area. I am helping Mia get her second location ready, the building is going to be created to accommodate all her services she offers. Christine will need a new title and two assistants one for each location. Elliott has been working with us on acquiring the land to build on without causing issues in the area. We don't want to displace anyone if we can help it. So far there are three places we can build on and no have that happen.
Elliott
I am designing the building to fit Mia's needs and have Christine work with me on 5he project along with the chefs and staffs input on what works best. I have found that we have so many different ideas that we need help in regards to designing a multiple food preparation areas and I have decided to create a restaurant that has three food type preparation areas and then  a catering that offers the same. Then the catering on demand or meals on demand that gives a variety as well. All will have three food preparation areas and storage. It will need a drive through and delivery areas along with a bay for delivery vans and delivery vehicles. Offices will be in the upper levels.
