Eric I think they are both asleep. I don't hear the water anymore. Well let's watch a movie and eat popcorn in bed with a soda and water. Okay but I will make the popcorn. While I am doing that please remove the duvet cover so it doesn't get greasy and start a fire. I will.

I leave to go make popcorn and return to a fire and Eric in bed covered up with the sheet and blankets with the pillows behind his back so he is sitting up comfortably.  I hand Eric the unopened water and loosened soda bottles with lots of napkins. I get more pillows and place the napkins in between us and the popcorn. I get into bed.

What are we going to watch? How about die hard series Olivia? Okay look for the first one. 

We begin watching the first one and eating as well as drinking our sodas.

Eric how is work going for you? We are doing well.  I am thinking about going back to be a business lawyer again. I have to pass the bar here in California. Eric I am so proud of you. What about the florist business? My sister said she will hire one more person to replace me. I will help out in between studying to take the bar. I spoke with Jane she and the others are interested in me joining their firm. I would work here and take cases in Italy again. I think that is great. I know you miss being a lawyer and you make more too. It's not about the money. I just miss being in court. I will be adding onto the house. I spoke to Casey about it already .

Olivia kisses me and we continue watching movie one. We finished watching after dinner.
We decided to go join my mom and Emily as they are eating and watching the news.

Hi sweetie and Eric. We weren't sure if you two would come out and stay awhile. Sorry Joey we were watching the die hard movies  How was the stir fry I made and Olivia made the rice along with the egg rolls.  Everything is delicious as you can see our plates are empty. Eric Jane told me this morning you are thinking about joining the firm but as a business lawyer for California and Italy. Yes I will be studying for California bar exam. I can take cases in Italy if I want to now. I just want to focus helping my sister and studying. I will also be 40 percent owner now. I am glad your going back to something you really enjoy. Me too . At times, my cases might work out that I can go with Olivia to Italy when she is there. Eric if you like I can add a office for you if you like. Of course,  you would have to lease the space and pay for your items you need. I can do that.  I know your aunt would like that so they don't have to lease an entire building for me and she would feel better if we are there at the same time when we can. How much space you need? About the size of this room with a bathroom and bed. I can do that. I will call my cousin Julianne to do that. You three cam figure out the costs and all.

We hear on the news of bad storm coming in. I tell Emily and Joey Eric is spending the night because we knew of the wind and rain arriving now and tomorrow.
We say good night. 

My cell is ringing.

Hey Olivia what's up? Eric told me about him joining the law firm. I suggested he have a office in my place. He wants to have a bathroom and bedroom too.  I would lease the office to him . The firm would be responsible for the furniture and telephone bill etcetera. He told me the size too. I will have you,  Julianne and him work out the details if you agree to it. Olivia I need to check with baby girl and Charles. I will get back with you tomorrow and speak with Julianne once I get the okay. I don't see a problem. I just can't make the sole decision. Okay auntie. Love you. Love you too sweetie .

I ended the call and updated Eric. We went to my bedroom and got out clothes ready for work tomorrow.
We had dessert than fell asleep .
